This year, the Beacon Open Studios city-wide art studio tour will be on the weekend of May 3-4th from Noon-6pm. There are over 50 artists to visit (maybe 66 but who is counting) in 25 different venues, some of which are shops on Main Street like Bank Square or even apartments, and some of which are studios located in the artist's homes. Artists are also showing at The Lofts further up Fishkill Avenue (Rt. 52) and worth the drive.



If you're jogging around Beacon as I was several years ago, you've seen the white signs with this big red dot saying "Beacon Open Studios". Can't miss it. Walk in to wherever you see one and explore the art that is hidden there. The discoveries will keep you busy all weekend, and you'll have plenty to eat and sip at the neighboring restaurants and cafes. You will even find one of a kind jewelry from artists like Kit Burke-Smith, Martha Humphreys and Kat Stoutenborough.

And it's even kid-friendly with an art studio at their headquarters. Play-dough, yes!
