Thomas Patch: Artist and Entrepreneur in Eighteenth-Century Florence

He was a landscape painter, experimental printmaker, and a dealer of antiquities and old master paintings. He was also among the first scholars of early Renaissance art. This exhibition will explore the many aspects of Patch’s art, life, and associations with the British community of diplomats, tourists, artists, and collectors in Italy. 

Please join us on Thursday, October 9, 2025 at 6PM for a public conversation with Professor André Dombrowski about his new book 'Monet’s Minutes: Impressionism and the Industrialization of Time'.

Dombrowski is Frances Shapiro-Weitzenhoffer Professor of 19th Century European Art at the University of Pennsylvania and a leading authority on French Impressionism.

The event will begin with a short presentation by the author followed by a public conversation between him and Oliver O’Donnell, Hill-Stead’s Resident Art Historian.

Questions from the audience will be welcomed at the end and the evening will conclude with a reception of wine and cheese.

Copies of the book will also be for sale at Hill-Stead Museum’s shop.

Spiritual Support Group

Get grounded, feed your soul, and express yourself in a safe & supportive environment

With Ryan Drozd, Reiki Master & Sound Healer

Second and Fourth Tuesdays of each month starting May 27th from 7pm-8:30pm 

If you are seeking support on your spiritual path, craving authentic connection, and need a space to speak your truth, look no further! Ryan will open each group with a brief sound meditation to help participants get grounded, then share his own spiritual experiences, struggles, and self-expression practices. This group is held in an open forum style. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences, challenges, and joys with no pressure to do so. Sharing within the group is optional.

Ryan wishes to serve others walking a spiritual path after hearing similar struggles from others on their journey. Please read through the group rules before attending. These rules must be honored to provide safety, common ground, and respect for other participants.  

Is this group right for you? Read the below and if you agree to the below then this may be the right group for you:

1. Spiritual Support Groups are confidential–what is shared in the group stays within the group. Do not share names, stories, and details about attendees outside of a group that could be used to identify them. This is a safe space that encourages vulnerability, authentic expression, and spiritual growth.

2. The group is held in an open forum style. If you would like to speak, limit responses to 3-5 minutes to allow everyone a chance to speak. Refrain from crosstalk and talking over others. Discrimination and rudeness will not be tolerated in this group.

3. Offering genuine support and encouragement is highly recommended! Keep in mind that each person's spiritual journey is unique. I encourage you to share your journey and refraining from offering unsolicited advice to others. We do not “should” on others within the group because this is disempowering. For example, “You should do this, say this, try this” is not allowed.

What participants should bring: An open heart, mind, and the courage to express what may be dimming your inner light. 

Event Fee: $20 suggested donation.

For Questions: radliving13@gmail.com

Bio: Ryan has struggled with depression and undiagnosed chronic pain for years which led him to do much inner work.

Thomas Patch: Artist and Entrepreneur in Eighteenth-Century Florence

Curated by Hugh Belsey, Independent Scholar

Known primarily as a caricature artist, Thomas Patch (1725-1782) in fact engaged in a much wider array of activities. He was a landscape painter, experimental printmaker, and a dealer of antiquities and old master paintings. He was also among the first scholars of early Renaissance art. This exhibition will explore the many aspects of Patch’s art, life, and associations with the British community of diplomats, tourists, artists, and collectors in Italy. 

On this special tour, visitors are offered the opportunity to take their time with Hill-Stead’s Impressionist masterpieces—including works by Monet, Degas, Manet, Cassatt, and Whistler—and to think deeply about how these canvases relate to the Pope family’s larger collection and to famous narratives from the history of art. The biographies of the artworks that are so central to Hill-Stead’s story, rather than the biographies of the people who established the museum, become the focus. This allows the tour to attend more closely to the art that makes Hill-Stead a celebrated destination and for visitors to engage with the collection in a way that complements the museum’s other tour offerings. Note: This tour is limited to the first floor of the historic house.

Is this group right for you? Read the below and if you agree to the below then this may be the right group for you:

1. Spiritual Support Groups are confidential–what is shared in the group stays within the group. Do not share names, stories, and details about attendees outside of a group that could be used to identify them. This is a safe space that encourages vulnerability, authentic expression, and spiritual growth.

2. The group is held in an open forum style. If you would like to speak, limit responses to 3-5 minutes to allow everyone a chance to speak. Refrain from crosstalk and talking over others. Discrimination and rudeness will not be tolerated in this group.

3. Offering genuine support and encouragement is highly recommended! Keep in mind that each person's spiritual journey is unique. I encourage you to share your journey and refraining from offering unsolicited advice to others. We do not “should” on others within the group because this is disempowering. For example, “You should do this, say this, try this” is not allowed.

What participants should bring: An open heart, mind, and the courage to express what may be dimming your inner light. 

Event Fee: $20 suggested donation.

Thomas Patch: Artist and Entrepreneur in Eighteenth-Century Florence

Curated by Hugh Belsey, Independent Scholar

Known primarily as a caricature artist, Thomas Patch (1725-1782) in fact engaged in a much wider array of activities. He was a landscape painter, experimental printmaker, and a dealer of antiquities and old master paintings. He was also among the first scholars of early Renaissance art. This exhibition will explore the many aspects of Patch’s art, life, and associations with the British community of diplomats, tourists, artists, and collectors in Italy.

Where women reclaim their magic, connect with Spirit and rise together.

With Kristen Naes (She/Her)

Step into a sacred space where your intuition is honored, your gifts are welcomed, and your voice is heard. Spirit Within is a weekly women’s circle devoted to the development of psychic and mediumship abilities in a nurturing, heart-centered environment.

-Inspired and automatic writing

-Strengthening the clairs (clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc.)

-Grounding, protection, and energetic hygiene

-Rituals for deepening your connection to the unseen

Whether you're just beginning to awaken your intuitive senses or seeking to expand your existing connection with Spirit, this circle offers guidance, sisterhood, and sacred space to grow. Together, we listen, receive, practice, and rise. Open to women and non-binary folks who enjoy women-centered spaces.
