garrison art center

The Garrison Art Center, on the historic Garrison landing, is open from Tues-Sun 10-5. It has two galleries which feature shows from locally and nationally known artists in all media. It also has an annual student show, and members shows, as well as an excellent annual Holiday Sale which features all the best potters of the region. I visit the Art center weekly, and never tire of it. The old world charm doesn't fade. The building it occupies, as well as neighboring ones, were all restored and featured as the City of Yonkers in "Hello Dolly". Visit the galleries, then walk down to the river and look up the road behind the Art Center and you are looking at the hardware store from the movie. I am including in this review photos I took this past year. Then enjoy the ambiance of the small Landing park. There is no food available on the landing at the time of this writing, although a restaurant is planned. Until then, plan to bring a picnic. Looking north there is a good view of West Point. If you come up from the city, you can combine a visit here with a stop at the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art in Peekskill, and then continue on to Cold Spring, or Beacon.
