Spring weekends in New England practically beg for a good story, and this one happens to come with a legendary art legacy. From April 17-19, Osamequin Farm in Seekonk will welcome Victoria Browning Wyeth for a three day cultural weekend filled with storytelling, art, and community connection. Wyeth, the granddaughter of celebrated American painter Andrew Wyeth, will share personal stories and family insights that offer a warm and deeply human look at one of the country’s most iconic artistic families.
Instead of a museum lecture hall, the experience unfolds outdoors on the historic farmland of Osamequin Farm. The setting is intentional. The Wyeth family’s work has long been shaped by the quiet beauty of the landscapes around them, making the farm a fitting place to reflect on how creativity grows from the rhythms of everyday life.
Drawing from years of research and personal memories, Victoria Wyeth brings audiences closer to the artist behind the paintings. Her storytelling explores how observation, repetition, and a deep connection to place shaped Andrew Wyeth’s creative life. As organizers explain, the program examines how “place, memory, and daily life shaped his creative practice,” inviting audiences to see art through a more personal lens.
The weekend unfolds across three thoughtfully planned events. Friday begins with a special session for high school artists. Saturday evening features a public presentation from 5:30-7pm, with a small meet and greet reception beforehand. Sunday morning brings a family friendly program complete with a youth art exhibition and activities designed for younger creatives.
The event also launches Osamequin Presents, a new program series that will invite artists, historians, scientists, and other cultural voices to engage the community through conversations rooted in land and place. For tickets and full details, visit OsamequinFarm.org/Wyeth.
