Following its century-and-a-half-long tradition of promoting excellence, beauty, and truth in art, The Salmagundi Club is celebrating its third Annual Hartley Invitational Exhibition with works from some of the greatest names and rising stars in the classic realism style.

From the bathers caressed by natural light in Joshua LaRock’s paintings and the captivating landscapes of Joseph McGurl to newer names such as Alex Venezia—winner of the $15,000 Hartley Prize—the exhibition displays a diverse yet harmonious selection of artworks that come together to revere nature—their main inspiration.
