The Beacon Sloop Club (Mural)
Rick has chosen to frame this mural with the body of an Esopus Indian River goddess, whose bounteous energy flows through the Hudson. Much like the goddess, the BSC devotes itself to nurturing the river community of Beacon through the activities depicted: sailing, folk music, environmental education, public festivals, kayaking, the river pool, the farmers market, preserving open space and river access, and using alternative energy. Rick captures the river as the life-giving main artery of the Hudson Valley over the last four centuries and how the river has shaped - and will continue to define - the unique and vibrant character of Beacon and the local area.
The mural will be unveiled at the intersection of Cross and Main Streets, across from Hudson Glass. It will be mounted on a brick wall for all to see and enjoy.
The Beacon Sloop Club is grateful for the support of the following to help make this project a reality:
Dutchess County Arts Council
Puffin Foundation
