great photo of the Electric windows Building

Jose Miranda and his friend took the Metro north train all the way up from the Bronx to check out Joe Pimentel's work in our new show. Jose had seen Joe's work on his deviantART page but really wanted to see it in person. And like everyone who gets a chance to see Joe's work in person, they were nothing short of impressed.

While they were here Jose got a great photo of the Electric Windows Building. Thanks for the snap Jose!

Another Second Saturday is here and not only do we have a great show at the gallery, there are tons of other reasons to come to Beacon on September 13th. There is an amazing film festival put on by the fine folks at Beacon Art Salon called the Film Flam. A DIY craft fair called the Handmade Cavalcade from the amazing people at Etsy. New shows at almost all the galleries in town and to finish off the night we are hosting another Next Step at the Piggy Bank.

Swimming Cities comes to Beacon

Last Night, Swoon's amazing project, The Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea came to Beacon.
The boats floated in one by one around dusk on Saturday night and an excited and curious crowd came down to welcome them, take pictures and feed the tired travelers. Todd from Spire Studios was gracious enough to host the crew while they were in Beacon and after a good nights sleep they set up and put on an amazing performance under perfect skies. Below are some pictures from the event.

Hooray for Electric Windows!!!

So we just found out that the Electric Windows project just won the 2008 Dutchess County Executive's Arts Award for "Art in Public Places" We worked so hard with our friends Jeff and Nicole at Beacon Art Supply and Burlock to put the project together that it feels really good to be recognized by the county for our contribution. The project never would of happened without all the amazing artists who donated their time and talent to create the art that makes the building look award worthy, and all the friends and volunteers that helped make the project a huge success!

THANK YOU!!!

another great opening!

Here are a few pictures from last Saturday's opening. This show is great so if you didn't make it by on Saturday come by and take a look. The show is up until Sept 7th.
