Storm King Art Center
Time to visit Storm King Art Center again, because they have new exhibits for you to not only look at, but to explore. This one, The Oracle of Lacuna (just featured in W Magazine), is a bright red house that appears to be largely sunk underground. The roof is so low, that you can walk up it, or enter the attic by a window. You won't want to miss the audio looping inside.
GUESS WHAT? Storm King Art Center made a special deal available just to Beaconites: The Family Membership, which is a great deal for up to two adults and up to four children, is discounted to $110 (regularly $125). So mention A Little Beacon Blog when you join, and save! Parking is free for everyone. Get the details on their Sponsor Spotlight page at A Little Beacon Blog.
