The choral performance concludes about 8 p.m.\, and the windows remain lighted for viewing until 8:30 p.m. Blankets and lawn chairs may be set up beginning at 4:00 p.m. after the windows are installed. \nBegun in 1979\, Christmas in the Park was conceived by Jeannette Genius McKean (1909–89) and Hugh F. McKean (1908–95) to share part of their rare Tiffany collection with the public in an informal setting. The windows displayed at Christmas in the Park are memorials with religious themes designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany’s firm for installation in the chapel at the Association for the Relief of Respectable Aged Indigent Females (1814–1974) in New York City. \nFor the 46th year of the event\, the Morse will install its windows and present the Bach Festival Society Choir\, Youth Choir\, and Brass Ensemble in concert. The city will oversee arrangements for park use\, security\, crowd management\, traffic control\, and road closures. \n \nThe Morse Museum is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933). This year the Morse is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the installation of the Tiffany Chapel at the Museum. In celebration\, the Museum is pleased to exhibit one of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s most significant glass mosaics\, Fathers of the Church\, on long-term loan from The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in Queens\, New York. The Museum’s holdings also include American art pottery\, late 19th- and early 20th-century American paintings\, graphics\, and history of design objects. \nMuseum hours from November through April are 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday; 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday; and l p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Today the Pet Alliance has a dedicated focus on the welfare and well-being of dogs and cats in Orange\, Seminole and Osceola Counties. As the “go-to” experts in Greater Orlando\, we do good things for dogs and cats and the people who love them. Our goal is to provide compassionate and knowledgeable services for pets.

During the nineteenth century\, artists working in the Hudson River Valley created paintings of the region’s lakes\, rivers\, and mountains to protect and preserve them\, and the paintings of Yosemite by Albert Bierstadt and Yellowstone by Thomas Moran helped establish the National Park Service. At the same time\, images of the landscape have contributed to settler colonialism\, displacement\, and over-development. Taking inspiration from In Nature’s Studio: Two Centuries of American Landscape \nPaintings\, this presentation explores the interconnectedness of art\, nature\, and politics. \nRSVP Here \nAbout Keri Watson\nKeri Watson is Assistant Director of the School of Visual Arts and Design\, Associate Professor of Art History\, and Director of the Florida Prison Education Project at the University of Central Florida. She serves as a Board Member for the Association of Historians of American Art\, Co-Executive Editor and Finance and Grants Manager for Panorama: Journal of the Association of Historians of American Art\, and is the author of Florida’s New Deal Parks and Post Office Murals (forthcoming)\, and co-author (with Julia Listengarten) of Visual and Performing Arts Collaborations In Higher Education: Transdisciplinary Practices (2023)\, and co-author (with Keidra Daniels Navaroli) of This is America: Re-Viewing the Art of the United States (2023).
