Happy Second Saturday, Beacon! We hope you get out and about - socially distanced, of course - to enjoy this (probably) last warm day for a while. It’s perfect weather for strolling Main Street and peeking into galleries, or enjoying the art mounted in their storefront windows.

The pace of art openings has slowed a bit compared with the past couple of months. Still, you’ll find new shows at Clutter Gallery (they have two openings!), Twins Barbershop, No. 3 Reading Room and Photo Book Works, the Howland Cultural Center and Bau Gallery (where several artists are showing).

Shows continuing from last month include exhibitions at Mother Gallery, Parts & Labor and Clarkson University’s Beacon Institute, along with the longer-running shows at Dia, Marion Royael, Morphicism and others. We've got it all covered in Beacon’s most comprehensive Art Gallery Guide.

This month’s Second Saturday Art Gallery Guide is sponsored by No. 3 Reading Room and Photo Book Works, at 469 Main Street, down toward the east end of Main Street, where you’ll find not just rotating exhibits, but cool collections of handmade books that the public is encouraged to peruse. Owner Paulette Myers-Rich has found new veins of creativity, coming up with ways to engage readers and consumers of art via her storefront windows.

While you're out and about doing Second Saturday, stop by our sponsors and support the businesses who support us! You too can become a sponsor at any time.
