Saturday is April 9th, which is the Second Saturday of the month! Readers and business owners alike have written in to us to ask if Second Saturday is still a thing in Beacon. With First Fridays starting up for shopping, Second Saturday for the arts is always here for galleries who want to be a little extra.

The galleries would love to see you any Saturday. A Little Beacon Blog still has our online Second Saturday Guide that lists all of the galleries with addresses and descriptions of the galleries themselves. Art Galleries are welcome to sponsor this guide with a subscription to have their exhibits listed any weekend, or just one!

The Ethan Cohen Gallery at the KuBe Art Center (aka The Old Beacon High School) has sponsored their event listing for this Second Saturday because they think this weekend is pretty special. Do take this opportunity to go inside of the KuBe Art Center to experience their exhibit! Details below.

*** New Job Listing at Obercreek Farm! See details below.
