On my hunt for unique furniture and while discovering street art in Beacon I came across something I never saw before… …yard art. While strolling down the backstreets off of Main Street, I found a sculpture. It was just a simple form of metal loops but I found it very interesting that this house’s owner [...]

Beacon Can Do Better Than a Pink Flamingo
Blog: MuseumChick - 24 November 2010
On my hunt for unique furniture and while discovering street art in Beacon I came across something I never saw before... ...yard art. While strolling down the backstreets off of Main Street, I found a sculpture. It was just a simple form of metal loops but I found it very interesting that this house's owner decided to dedicate their entire front yard to art. Maybe this was Mr. Giordano's house, but my bashfulness kept me from knocking on the door to find out. ©2010 Danee Gilmartin All rights reserved

Discovering Street Art in Beacon New York
Blog: MuseumChick - 20 November 2010
Mr. MuseumChick and I have been sitting on the floor and eating off of a Tupperware box since we moved back from Paris and we were in desperate need to get our place together to finally have some friends over. In a search to find some unique furniture for my new NYC apartment, I headed out of the city to one of my favorite small New York State towns, Beacon. I couldn't believe I was going to take the Metro North for 2 hours and not see my favorite contemporary art space, the Dia Art Foundation, that is located in...
