At the Weir Farm Art Center, there is much to experience for the art enthusiast. You can follow a painting landscape trail that compares actual scenes with how they were depicted by artists Albert Pinkham Ryder, Frederick Childe Hassam and J. Alden Weir himself. The center is both an ode to Weir's life and work, and a continuation of the naturalist movement in American painting, offering an "Artist in Residence" program that invites 12 artists to live and work on the farm. There is also an "Art Explorer" program for children ages 6-12 years.
