The Katonah Museum of Art is a non-collecting institution geared towards visual arts, located in Katonah, New York. The Museum presents changing exhibitions that cross a spectrum of artistic disciplines, cultures, and historical periods. Housed in an elegant building designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes, and accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the Katonah Museum of Art originates three to four major exhibitions annually.
Come join us for something a little different from our usual sketching activities. We have been invited to participate in the Museum's Senior Social Afternoon where you will enjoy guided exhibition tours, an engaging art demonstration, light refreshments, and great company.
Currently on Exhibit:
Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver
In the Beitzel Gallery, July 13 - October 5, 2025
A pioneer of Surrealism, Leonora Carrington (1917-2011) conjures vivid, otherworldly landscapes populated with fantastical creatures inspired by folklore, mysticism, the occult, and her own dramatic autobiography. Spanning 50 years of Carrington’s career, this exhibition celebrates her creative and technical versatility with more than thirty rarely seen artworks, generously loaned from private collections. By turns illuminating and enigmatic, Carrington’s work explores the dream-like worlds of the unconscious, probing the intimate workings of the imagination in ways that still resonate today.
Sublime Geometries: Selections from The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation
In the Righter Gallery, July 13 - October 5, 2025
Drawn from the collection of The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation, this exhibition presents a multi-generational group of women artists who are reinventing geometric abstraction in contemporary art: Alison Hall (b. 1980), Hester Simpson (b. 1949), Dannielle Tegeder (b. 1971), Claudia Wieser (b. 1973), and Alison Wilding (b. 1948). For these multimedia artists, geometry is both sensual and spiritual, representing the world pared down to its vital elements, so that the meeting of forms becomes a psychologically charged encounter.
