“My favorite home goods store in Saugerties - beautiful and thoughtfully curated selection of furniture and decor items and a very friendly / helpful shop owner. Unlike all those antique shops where 90% of the stuff in there is junk, this store is sophisticated and offers elevated pieces in excellent condition. Highly recommend!”
“Great little hidden gem in Kingston! Lots of interesting and unique handmade and artisan gifts, art, vintage finds, and tons of plants! The owners are awesome people, and their little dog is super cute. So glad I stumbled in!”
“Sweet gallery with international caliber site specific exhibits hidden away near Rhinebeck, with a lovely short walk to a nearby lake. Ok for small kids who might enjoy the walk after you enjoy the art. Only open sundays and maybe some Saturdays, check the schedule.”
“Wow -- the exhibit, "Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination Since 1969," absolutely blew my mind! This is such a major exhibit and so important from a variety of standpoints. Vital and thought-provoking on a political level, a sociological level, an avant-garde art level, a historical level, a Native American symbolic and artistic level, a feminist level, a Two-Spirit level, a drama/theater level, a musical level, a multi-media level, a philosophical level....just so amazing in every way. This is a huge exhibit and has been running for awhile. I hope, hope, hope to get back at least once. It is a lot to take in. I learned a lot and was very inspired by the breadth and depth of this amazing grouping of artists. As for the venue, the museum is free and the grounds are terrific. The bathrooms are clean and there is even a device at the water fountain so you can fill up your water bottle. There are also seats outside and inside if someone in your group gets tired. I love BARD. I am so thankful for BARD's role in the community. I can't believe I saw all this for free.”
