About the event
Hudson Rising explores 200 years of ecological change and environmental activism along “the most interesting river in America” through artifacts, media, and celebrated Hudson River School paintings. The exhibition reflects on how human activity has impacted the river and, in turn, how the river environment has shaped industrial development, commerce, tourism, and environmental awareness. The exhibition also explores how experts in various fields are currently creating ways to restore and re-engineer areas of the river in response to climate change.
We will be leaving at 10:30 AM and taking the AC subway from Fulton St Station to 81st Street Station. Where we will begin the tour at 11:15 and after the FREE tour participants are free to look about as they wish. Please RSVP by emailing President Thomas Carpenito at thomas.j.carpenito@pace.edu.
