Dia:Beacon -  Located on 31 acres on the banks of the Hudson River, approximately 60 miles north of Manhattan. The International Paper Company donated the former Nabisco printing plant, which will house Dia’s renowned but rarely seen collection of contemporary art. Comprised of three buildings and a train shed conjoined into a single structure, the facility maintains the character of the original structure with high ceilings and more than 34,000 square feet of skylights. Each gallery is devoted to work by a single artist and is designed to fulfill the particular needs of the art it contains. Among those artists exhibited are Louise Bourgeois, Walter De Maria, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Agnes Martin, Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra and Andy Warhol. Dia:Beacon has been named the Riggio Galleries in honor of Louise and Leonard Riggio in recognition of their generous donation to the new museum.

BEACON, NY---The Beacon Arts Community Association (BACA), a new organization dedicated to promoting the city of Beacon as a center for the arts, has announced its plans for a "Second Saturday" celebration in Beacon.  Nearly 30 regional art galleries, stores, and restaurants have all agreed to be open simultaneously, extending their hours until 9 p.m.

Located 60 miles north of Manhattan, Beacon has been described by The New York Times as "the Hudson Valley's most promising hot spot for contemporary art." " 'Second Saturday Beacon' will present the perfect opportunity for art aficionados and casual tourists alike to discover its diversity," says Ricardo Diaz, president of BACA. "Its timing is also ideal for holiday shoppers looking for the perfect gift and for seasonal revelers in search of a festive atmosphere."

A special "Second Saturday Beacon" map, published by BACA, will be on hand for all visitors, and a free trolley making several stops along Beacon's charming Main Street will also be available from noon - 9 p.m. Additionally, "Second Saturday Beacon" will feature a diverse selection of live music at some participating establishments, and that evening, a free "open mike" session will take place at the Howland Cultural Center.
