Program Topic:
In conjunction with the Hudson River Maritime Museum's exhibition of the paintings of Peter Eagleton, "Working Waterfronts," HRMM will host Coast Guart Art Program artist Fred Feiler to speak about his own artistic corpus and the Coast Guard Art Program more broadly.
Fred Feiler shares his portfolio of paintings that starts in abstract and moves to realism, capturing the deep love of water and boats that led him to apply to become a member of the Coast Guard Art Program. Feiler will then share his works completed at the Coast Guard Station at Boothbay Harbor, ME which depict training missions including using flares, direct hoist, direct trail hoist, and a motor life boat rescue. Feiler will introduce the work of the broader Coast Guard Art Program, highlighting eleven missions of the Coast Guard/Homeland Security as portrayed by various artists.
