“Contemporary Rockland Artists: RoCA Faculty Exhibit”, in the Emerson Gallery, celebrates the present vision of the teaching artists at RoCA. Early founders, Rockland residents and patrons – Helen Hayes, Henry Varnum Poor, Aaron Copland, Paulette Goddard and Burgess Meredith had a goal “to make use of the abundant artistic talent available by offering courses of instruction, arts and crafts exhibitions, lectures, courses of instruction for children and adults of arts and crafts under teachers of a caliber seldom available outside of New York City.”
