Waterlilies on Hudson
Waterlilies on Hudson Returns!
Join us for a day of outdoor art and inspiration as Waterlilies on Hudson returns to Cedar Lane Park in Ossining, NY! This free, family-friendly event will take place on September 20, 2025, from 10am–3pm, and is sponsored by the Ossining Arts Council and Ossining Parks & Recreation.
With the waterlilies in bloom, the park becomes a living tribute to the lush, light-filled works of Claude Monet. Guests of all ages are invited to enjoy a relaxed day of sketching, painting, and creative exploration by the water.
Expect art stations, live models in 19th-century attire, and scenic views perfect for plein air studies. Bring your sketchbook, paints, or camera—and don’t forget the kids! OAC members will be on hand with paint, stencils, and materials to guide children in hands-on art activities.
Whether you’re an artist, an art lover, or just looking for a peaceful Saturday outdoors, Waterlilies on Hudson offers a chance to slow down, look closer, and create.
