PHILOSOPHY
The Arkell collection of late 19th and early 20th century American art boasts works by Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper, Thomas Hart Benton, and Childe Hassam, which are further enriched by interactive exhibits showing artifacts from the Mohawk River Valley’s storied past.
The formal art galleries defined by rectangular roof monitors are arranged around the Great Hall, providing views into the heroic forms of the landscape and the major river to the west, and frames Arkell’s classical garden looking toward to the East.

"The institution has evolved into more than just an art gallery with a library attached, but an art gallery with a small town attached. The roster of American painters exhibited here is astounding and completely out of scale with what you would expect from a Thruway exit between Albany and Utica." - Susan Finch, “Off the Beaten Path”

The renovation of the old gambrel-roofed library and classical garden is blended with a contemporary gallery addition that subtly references the museum’s industrial past. A series of glowing boxes give the Arkell Arts Center and the city of Canajoharie a presence that reads from the nearby New York State Thruway.
