Happening This Weekend - 10/11/2019

This weekend is October's Second Saturday in Beacon, and wow, is it a big one. The No. 3 Reading Room and Photo Book Works, down near Brother's Trattoria, has opened again after taking a summer hiatus. This is your chance to step inside the mysterious destination, where at times they have the blinds drawn to protect the work inside. Maria Lago has new work in her gallery, with Cartas a Mi Madre.

While you're exploring, do step inside the Marion Royael gallery. Go allllll the way to the back to experience Mr. Yard, as we did yesterday. Here's a walk-through.
