Throughout the 20th Century, the Hudson River Valley was home to numerous artists' colonies, collectives, and communes. While there was a wide variety of arts, personalities, and objectives for each of these communities, the one thing they all had in common was "living together." This panel will explore each of the communities listed, then engage in a discussion across their individual topics and times to explore other similarities and differences.

The Charlotte Cunneen-Hackett Lecture Series was established in 2001 to advance appreciation of the rich heritage of the Hudson River Valley and to promote the history of the region.

The Hudson River Valley Institute is a Center of Excellence at Marist College that studies and promotes the history of the Hudson River Valley. The Institute provides information about the region’s culture, economy, environment, and educational resources through www.hudsonrivervalley.org, public programming, and The Hudson River Valley Review.
