Pocantico Center Presents: Unearth, a documentary by Hunter Nolan April 12
Date/Time: 4/12 6:30-8:30 PM Location: The David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center, 200 Lake Road, Tarrytown
In a documentary film by Hunter Nolan, two sets of siblings learn of plans for a proposed copper mine near their homes in Alaska’s pristine Bristol Bay area. The Salmon sisters, Native Alaskans, work on the regulatory front, remaining hyper-vigilant to political pressures that could shift at any moment and pushing the federal EPA to block the project. The Strickland brothers, independent fishermen who know they could be just one mine accident away from losing their livelihood, probe closed-door meetings to expose the truth behind what the developer tells the public.
After the ninety minute screening, director Hunter Nolan will lead a conversation with invited panelists Michael Northrop and Anisa Kamadoli Costa to discuss the film, its environmental themes, and the current status of the case in Bristol Bay. A reception with access to Sketching Light: Chagall’s Windows for Union Church, now on display in the David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center gallery, will follow.
Presented in partnership with the RBF’s Sustainable Development program.
Tickets: $16.82

Date/Time: October 11, 2024-May 17 2025 Open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, 11 am-3 pm Location: The Pocantico Center, 200 Lake Road, Tarrytown
“Sketching Light: Chagall’s Windows for Union Church” is a rare opportunity for to explore the creative process of renowned artist Marc Chagall (1887-1985).
In the 1960s, Chagall was commissioned by the Rockefeller family to create a large stained-glass window in memory of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., as well as 8 smaller windows, for Union Church of Pocantico Hills.
Sketching Light features 27 mixed media works on paper from Chagall’s preparatory studies for the project. These works, acquired by David Rockefeller in 1975, will be on public display for the first time since 1978.
Chagall’s first ideas for each window are roughly laid out in pencil or ink sketches. In successive iterations, he adds color with paint, pastel, and collage to create a multi-media maquette.
One of the most renowned modernists of the 20th century, Chagall produced 10,000 works during his 75-year career. Although primarily known as a painter, the artist worked in a wide variety of materials and techniques, devoting himself to stained glass during the final decades of his career. Union Church was Marc Chagall’s first stained glass commission in the United States and remains the only church with Chagall windows in the country.
All visitors must reserve a free timed-entry ticket prior to visiting.
