The best arts & culture spots in Saugerties

“Local metal sculptor Michael Ciccone ranges from outdoor large-scale statements to smaller abstract, figurative, landscape, and sacred pieces, so there’s plenty to feed your art walk habit. Start with his Top 20 Highlights, then dive into the Bridge Works Series and recent Instagram updates.”

“Saugerties Lighthouse is a living museum in an 1869 Hudson River beacon, plus a low-key B&B if you feel like unplugging for a night. Walk the nature trail, time it with the tide table, and keep an eye out for summer Sunday tower tours... proof our waterfront history is still alive.”

“Stern Contemporary is a Hudson River Valley gallery bringing together contemporary works with a clean, curated vibe and an easy-to-browse shop. If your walls have been giving you side eye lately, their collection makes it simple to discover something striking and support a serious local art destination.”

“Woodstock Museum connects our backyard’s Woodstock story to bigger ideas like peace, creativity, and sustainable living. Pop in for a guided tour, a short festival film or the deeper 40-minute cut, and leave feeling surprisingly present about the 1960s.”
