In the nineteenth century, American artists sought to capture the unique character of the North American landscape, from iconic landmarks to intimate countryside views. Drawing from the Allentown Art Museum’s permanent collection, this exhibition explores mountains, waterfalls, pastures, and wilderness scenes while also examining how these idealized landscapes can obscure ecological damage and colonial violence.

Kay WalkingStick / Hudson River School brings together works by contemporary Cherokee artist Kay Walking Stick with nineteenth-century Hudson River School paintings, creating a conversation about American landscape, identity, memory, and the land’s layered histories.

An ancient feud divides the Montagues and Capulets—until Romeo and Juliet meet and fall irrevocably in love. Their secret marriage defies generations of bloodshed, but in a world poisoned by hatred, even the most transcendent love cannot escape fate.

This is a story that challenges whether love can ever truly conquer hate. Age 12+
