A Taste of the Sublime
August 9, 2008

Join the Fenimore Art Museum in our first annual celebration of the relationship between artists and landscape. Offering one of the most spectacular views of Otsego Lake in town, the museum’s back lawn is truly the perfect spot to experience landscape art in the context in which it was created.
