CANAJOHARIE – The Arkell Museum reopened earlier this month with a handful of exhibits, ranging from key works by Winslow Homer to political cartoons dating back to the late 19th century.
In the former exhibit, titled “Arkell’s Inspiration: Art for the People,” seven Homer paintings stretch out across one wall of the museum’s original art gallery. It’s the first time in several years that they’ve been featured at the museum together.

The Aluminare House as it appeared in the 1930s
After three years of travelling across the continent and sitting in a container, the iconic Aluminaire House designed by Albert Frey and A. Lawrence Kocher has found a future home on the grounds of the Palm Springs Art Museum in California. The boxy 1,100 sq. ft house was gifted to the museum by the Aluminaire House Foundation, founded by the architects and academics Michael Schwarting and Frances Campani.
“We think this is the perfect location and relationship to how the house will continue,” says Schwarting, who helped save the structure from demolition in the late 1980s. Palm Springs already boasts a number of Frey’s other landmark buildings, including the City Hall and the Tramway Gas Station.
