To apply, artists must submit 5-7 digital images of work done from life (Subject matter is not limited to landscapes but can include figure, cast, and still life. Drawings are encouraged, particularly figure drawings). The application can be downloaded from the foundations website www.hudsonriverlandscape.com.
Its mission is to "build a new movement of American art, modeling itself after the artistic, social and spiritual values of the Hudson River School painters... Ideally, these artists and their beautiful representations of nature will help to lead the culture back to a stronger connection to the landscape. The school seeks to make a contribution both to the art world and the conservation movement." The curriculum consists of field studies, theory, and studio painting.
