After a pandemic-induced pause, BeaconArts has revived its bus shelter art program at five stops throughout the city.

The project began in 2017 with pieces by local artists who were given the dimensions of two back panels. New artists were chosen in 2018 and 2019 and the artwork replaced with funding from the City of Beacon and Dutchess Tourism. But the shutdown derailed the project in 2020, and the 2019 panels languished. The 2024 panels — the fourth round — were recently installed.

I’m obsessed with Alyssa Follansbee’s bus-stop art. It makes me want to wait for the bus more often! [via Instagram]
