American regionalist and noted local painter, muralist and printmaker, Thomas Weeks Barrett (1902-1947) was the founder and first president of the Dutchess County Art Association. He organized the group’s local exhibitions in shops, hotels & at the county fair. “An artist is a sensitive plate that records mentally and then interprets manually, changing perceptions of life.. prophetic… a leader,” Barrett declared. His DCAA experiences convinced him that local activities and interest in the arts warranted permanent galleries, a school of art and a meeting place in Poughkeepsie. His dream was to convert his own home into a Community Art Center. Tom decided to will the Barrett House to the city upon his own death. Bequeathed by his sister, Betty, to the Dutchess County Art Association, it is now the art center Tom envisioned more than 60 years ago!
Tom Barrett's original studio, on the third floor of the Barrett House, with its wonderful natural light, has been remodeled to include a photographic darkroom and printmaking facility with a two foot wide Martech Etching Press.
