Happening This Weekend - 1/10/2020

You know what is the most convenient cool thing you have right now? The knowledge of what is going on inside of each art gallery in Beacon this weekend for Second Saturday - all. in. one. place.

That's right. A Little Beacon Blog's Second Saturday Guide Editor Catherine Sweet hunts and gathers for what is opening where, and then tells you the inside story about it. She even knows what gallery might have disappeared into a hiatus (like Mother Gallery this month), but who is showing upstairs at Parts & Labor Beacon at 1154 North Avenue (next to the twinkly lit windows of Giannetta Salon Spa when you're coming up from the train). Catherine even knows which coffee shops are hosting an artist on their walls (like Bank Square and Big Mouth Coffee Roasters this month). And even what brewery.

How do we do this? With the support of sponsors like No. 3 Reading Room & Photo Book Works located in the coziest little spot on Main Street near Brothers Trattoria. With sponsor support of our Guides, we can bring you these projects. Thank you to all of our advertisers!

TOP LEFT: Industrial Arts Brewing Co. keeps pushing the boundaries of what we expect when visiting a brewery. First, they scored a resident food truck with Eat Church. Now, there’s art up on the walls. Industrial Arts welcomes Casey Inch, who was born in Brooklyn and raised in Connecticut. He went out to Colorado to earn his BFA in Painting, then in 2007 he moved to Brooklyn to deepen his painting and drawing studies pursuing an MFA at Pratt Institute. Inch exhibits his work nationally, and continues to work in his Brooklyn studio.
TOP RIGHT: The River, pastels from Croton-on-Hudson artist Evan Turk continues at Clarkson University’s Beacon Institute for Rivers & Estuaries in their Main Street gallery. Turk created the series of more than 150 pastel paintings in the span of an entire year, through all four seasons, reflecting on continuity, impermanence, and change.
BOTTOM LEFT: A trio of pretty-new openings at Dia: Better known for her work with sculpture and light, Marian Zazeela instead brings to Dia her works on paper, which ”showcase the range of materials and motifs that stem from the artist’s deep interest in calligraphy and ornamental forms,” according to Dia’s press release. It’ll be interesting to see how those more ornate pieces leap out from the less-decorative works that Dia’s known for.
BOTTOM RIGHT: Whispers from the Castle Keep, an exhibit of memorabilia from the Bannerman Castle Trust is on display at the Beacon Historical Society. It includes small artifacts from the Civil and Spanish American wars. Paintings, photographs, catalogs, and rare artifacts will tell the story of the Bannerman arsenal and castle.
