Behind the Scenes Networking Events
At our regional listening sessions, participants indicated they would like to have a greater opportunity to network with fellow GHHN members. At the same time, several organizations indicated an interest in hosting a behind-the-scenes tour at their sites, highlighting their collections, archives or exhibits.
You asked, and we listened! |

Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund 200 Lake Road Tarrytown, NY Please join us at our June Behind-the-Scenes Networking event hosted by the Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. This is a unique opportunity during which GHHN members and friends can come together to enjoy a relaxing evening of conversation, discovery, wine and cheese, and camaraderie! The Pocantico Center is a venue for conferences and meetings on critical issues related to the Fund's mission. It also serves as a community resource and offers public access through a visitation program, lectures, and cultural events, as well as support to artists and arts organizations in the greater New York City area. Located 20 miles north of Manhattan in the Pocantico Historic Area, The Pocantico Center is managed by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund as part of its agreement with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. We will enjoy a special evening at the Pocantico Center, which will include a demonstration and talk by Arnaldo Ugarte (a Honduran born sculptor), and two conservation interns from the School of Conservation and Restoration of the West in Guadalajara and the National School of Conservation, Restoration and Museology in Mexico City. Mr Ugarte works as a sculpture conservation technician under the direction of Kykuit Curator Cynthia Altman. His work includes maintaining the outdoor sculpture collection and other objects. He also assists with other art related projects. Mr. Ugarte studied sculpture at Pratt Institute and has worked in Art Conservation in foundries and other institutions including the Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Park at Pepsi-Co. A reception will follow. Space is very limited! Sign up quickly--previous Behind-the-Scenes have sold out! There is a $10 requested donation to cover the cost of hospitality. |
