The Hudson River Museum is a preeminent cultural institution in Westchester County and the New York metropolitan area. Situated on the banks of the Hudson River in Yonkers, New York, the HRM’s mission is to engage, inspire, and connect diverse communities through the power of the arts, sciences, and history.
Current exhibitions include:
Smoke in Our Hair: Narrative Memory and Unsettled Time
This exhibit explores the nuanced layers of the past, present, and future within contemporary art by Native American, Alaska Native, First Nations, and Métis artists. Tapping personal memory, ancestral artistic practices, history, and Indigenous Futurism, their works center intentionality, design, and materiality.
Alvin C. Hollingsworth:And All That Jazz
Alvin Carl Hollingsworth, also known as A. C. Hollingsworth, was a versatile and energetic artist who vividly represented the Black experience in America. And All That Jazz brings together never-before-seen paintings, prints, and illustrations recently donated to the Museum by Marjorie Hollingsworth Mitchell, as well as loans from local collectors. Themes that run through Hollingsworth’s long and influential career include his fascination with jazz, his celebration of Black women, and his origins in illustration.
