This is it!
Beacon will get a big splash of color on Main Street on Saturday May 23rd – all courtesy of the Beacon Sloop Club and various other suppporters. At 11am that morning our large and colorful River Beacons mural will be lifted into place and unveiled.
It’s an exciting moment and I hope to see many club members and city residents and supporters on hand to to celebrate. A year in the making, the mural celebrates the Woody Guthrie’s 30th anniversary in 2008 (she rides the foreground of the mural), Beacon’s river town heritage and lifestyle, and the statewide 2009 Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial.
Rick Price while putting the finishing touches to the mural has also been working with firends to construct a lightweight, welded portable frame to support the mural. All will be set for May 23. See you there!
We still have to raise $1500 to complete the cost or the frame and te art itself – please give a little.
Thanks, see you there,
Kevin

Rick Price is one of Beacon’s treasures. His work on the Library mural and now this Main St piece is stunning. I hope he has the opportunity {and the funding too of course] to create more cultural icons for this city.
