WHAT DO YOU SEE? — Each Saturday morning, Dia Beacon offers a class for parents and children that focuses on an artist whose works are in its collection. On a recent Saturday, the subject was the late Robert Irwin, who lived in Beacon from 1999 to 2003 while he helped get the museum off the ground. In one exercise, participants looked through a mat to “frame what you see” in nature. On July 20, the subject will be Rita McBride and on July 27, it’s Max Neuhaus.
GREATEST HITS — For its annual July 4 concert at Boscobel in Philipstown, the Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra performed movie scores by John Williams and patriotic pieces such as “Fanfare for the Common Man” and “Stars and Stripes Forever.” The orchestra is conducted by Russell Ger.
MAGIC! — Steve Johnson, who has been a magician for more than 30 years, entertained parents and children on July 13 at the Howland Public Library in Beacon.
POW WOW — The Redhawk Native American Arts Council held its annual celebration on July 13 and 14 at the Anthony Wayne Recreation Area near Bear Mountain.
