What unfolded was not only a military conquest, but a complex negotiation between empires and cultures that would give birth to the city we now know as New York. With his blend of storytelling and scholarship, Russell Shorto brings to life the paradox at the heart of New York and America’s origin story as a place of promise built on displacement, resilience, and reinvention. This program is presented in collaboration with the New York State Museum, the New York State Archives Partnership Trust, and donations in Stefan Bielinski’s honor.

Weaving in and out of referential forms, colors and elemental shapes, she allows for both intuitive and calculated responses. The paintings are made with thin, translucent layers of oil paint on a smooth oil ground surface. Luminous, gestural brushstrokes impart physicality yet glide weightlessly over smooth surfaces as figure-ground relationships oscillate and conflate. Geometric structures and sharp edges provide a counterpoint to the immediacy and speed of the gesture. The slow, measured adjustment of a seemingly quick gestural brushstroke acts to reassign the historical meaning of this type of mark, simultaneously referring to the intuitive action of the body while invoking a stillness and precision in the intertwining of distinct marks. This process creates an active space for exploration that connects the present activity of painting to a previous experience. McMahon works in a constant negotiation with the elements as they shift in relation to one another, as she imagines, invents, and explores fluid spaces, suggestive forms, color relationships, and gesture. Over the years, she has moved between shaped panels, dimensional works on paper, and rectilinear formats. These variables allow her to address painting as image, object and action, reinforcing or expanding the limits of the picture plane. |
November 16, 2025(2 events) – Drop in between 10:00–11:00 a.m. for a creative, family-friendly program led by State Librarian Lauren Moore!

Join respected scholar and principal of the newly formed Niagara Academy for Indigenous Relationships, Rick Hill (Tuscarora, Six Nations of the Grand River, Beaver Clan), for a thought-provoking lecture exploring the complex legacy of George Washington from an Indigenous perspective. While Washington is often celebrated as the nation’s first president and a symbol of American democracy, his policies, and military campaigns—including the devastating Sullivan-Clinton Campaign—left lasting impacts on Native communities. Hill will offer a grounded and insightful reflection on these histories, illuminating how the Haudenosaunee experienced and remember Washington’s leadership. This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition George Washington: An American Paradox, which examines the contradictions of Washington’s life as both a champion of liberty and a perpetuator of slavery and violence. As we approach the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026, this conversation invites the public to engage more deeply with the tensions and legacies of the founding era, fostering a fuller and more honest understanding of America’s past. |

November 22, 2025(1 event) Join historian and author Dr. Thomas Guiler, Director of Museum Affairs at the Oneida Community Mansion House, for an engaging talk exploring the rise of communal Arts and Crafts Movements in early 20th-century America. Drawing from his newly released book, The Handcrafted Utopia: Arts and Crafts Communities in Progressive America (Couper Press, 2025) Dr. Guiler examines the rich histories of visionary communities like Rose Valley, Byrdcliffe, and Roycroft—utopian experiments where artists and idealists sought to merge beauty, labor, and social reform. Discover how these communities used handcrafted decorative arts as a means of building more meaningful lives and learn about the unique role New York State played in this transformative cultural moment. A Q&A and book signing will follow the presentation. |

November 25, 2025(1 event) Brought to you with the support of WMHT, join us for a screening of Native America: Women Rule celebrating the power and leadership of Native women past and present. Native women are leading, innovating, and inspiring in the arts, politics, and protecting the planet. Native America explores the diverse ways they carry forward deep traditions to better their communities, their lands, and the world. They are building on a proud legacy of Indigenous women’s leadership that stretches back to time immemorial. Even as European kings and nations sought patriarchal dominion over the New World, Native communities continued to prioritize women as goddesses, healers, and leaders. And to this day, Native women remain a central force in their communities and beyond, and increasingly serve as a guiding light for gender equality worldwide. |

December 4, 2025(4 events) – Are your ancestors lost, invisible or misbehaving? Sooner or later every genealogist seems to hit a dead end in their research. On the first and third Thursday of each month from 1:00-2:30pm, Caldwell-Lake George Library will offer genealogy help. This is an informal drop-in, one-on-one meeting to discuss ways to overcome or move around problems in researching ancestors.
