Jay, the artist, makes one of a kind gliclee art I have never seen before. He always takes the time to speak with visitors and encourage student artists. His prices range from inexpensive, moderate to high. Jay's art is great for ANYONE's home and makes great gifts!

Totally enjoyed Dia:Beacon art installation. Took the train from manhattan round trip.Rail runs very close to the Hudson, so worthy fall journey. Then station to Dia:Beacon by uber/easy. Vast spaces of this old factory held compelling, sometimes odd large scale sculptures in a variety of forms - glass,metal,paintings,rocks,neon etc. The 122 (?) Warhol abstract paintings - something to behold en masse.The natural light from huge skylights highlighted and then subdued the art as the day waned. Worth the journey

You can watch the artists blow glass for free. If you would like to learn how to do it, you can sign up for a one-on-one class. Next door to the factory is the store where you can view hundreds of bowls, jewelry, flowers and other items made of beautiful glass. The colors and workmanship are amazing for all ages to see. My friends bought a wine glass and a matching necklace and earrings. The workers in the store are helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely go check out this huge place on the corner of Main Street.
