American art and Mohawk Valley history are celebrated in exhibitions and programs at the Arkell Museum at Canajoharie. Visitors to the museum will discover paintings by remarkable American artists such as Winslow Homer, George Inness, Ralph Blakelock, Childe Hassam, Robert Henri, and Thomas Hart Benton. The Arkell Museum’s collection also includes objects and archives related to the Mohawk Valley. The landscape of the Mohawk Valley and the marketing of Beech-Nut products are subjects explored in museum programs and exhibitions. The Arkell Museum is located halfway between Albany and Utica — just three blocks from Exit 29 on the New York State Thruway (I-90).

Mark Adams and Beth Van Hoesen: Life Observed Up-Close

March 29, 2012 - June 24, 2012


The museum received a generous gift of drawings, lithographs and etchings from the E. Mark Adams and Beth Van Hoesen Trust that is featured in this fascinating exhibition. Both Adams and Van Hoesen held on to realism at a time when other artists were creating abstract works of art. Many of lithographs and etchings in the exhibition are up-close looks at nature and everyday objects. Adam's large prints present single objects like a glass jar, cigar box or martini glass at a size much bigger than real life, while Van Hoesen's attention is more often focused on animals and flowers.”
