En Plein Air with Bruce Lieberman at the James Corwith Grist Windmill

Join us for another summer of plein air painting classes with the Bridgehampton Museum! This year our workshops will be hosted by three different artists throughout the summer, giving all of our students more opportunities to learn. These classes are for artists of all abilities from beginners to professionals and will take place at a series of beautiful locations within the Bridgehampton area. Join us to get hands on with some history!

The James Corwith Grist Windmill is a historic wind-powered gristmill built in 1803 to grind locally grown grain into flour and meal for the surrounding farming community. Relocated to its present site in Water Mill in the mid-19th century, it stands as a rare surviving example of Long Island’s early industrial and agricultural heritage. Today, the restored mill is a landmark maintained by the Water Mill Museum and is occasionally opened for tours and special demonstrations.

At the culmination of this program, The Bridgehampton Museum will be hosting an exhibition of works done by students in this class. Each student will be able to submit one piece they worked on during one of the classes to be part of the exhibition which will be on view in the museum this fall.
