The River Beacons mural celebrates Beacon’s river town heritage and lifestyle, the Beacon Sloop Club’s replica sloop Woody Guthrie’s 30th anniversary, and the statewide Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial.
Award winning muralist Rick Price is working on the “River Beacons” at his studio in the Old High School in Beacon, New York. The mural is sponsored by the Beacon Sloop Club and is scheduled to be on display at the corner of Cross and Main Street from March 2009 as one of Beacon’s first official 2009 Quadricentennial projects.
The painting, 15 feet high and 10 feet wide, will hang on the copious brick western wall of Riverwinds Gallery; on the corner of Cross Street and Main Street, facing Hudson Beach Glass. The location will make this mural highly visible to Beaconites and visitors, inviting both to enjoy, preserve and celebrate the Hudson River and Beacon’s river town heritage.
The project is being spearheaded by Gigi Fris and Kevin Haydon of the Beaocn Sloop club’s development committee.
