Join BAU Gallery and its presenting artists for three new shows opening this weekend.

Nate Hill's inaugural exhibition at the gallery, The Loop Trail, presents a series of biomorphic wooden sculptures created from locally sourced walnut trees scavenged from roadsides or shared by arborist friends.

The Unfinished History of Dennings Point— George Kimmerling's latest project—explores the cultural landscape of Denning’s Point, which is the 64-acre site on the Hudson River in Beacon. Now a state park, the location has a complicated and distinctly American history.

Once owned by Dutch enslavers, Denning's Point is indelibly marked by racial and class conflict, unbridled industrialism, and environmental degradation. The show includes new black-and-white landscape photographs, works based on archival materials, and studies for new historical markers.

Awaken! is an aptly titled group show from BAU’s Gallery Artists. Described as “a call to action, a spiritual goal, a plea,” this show has a rich set of meanings, all of which seem spot on for this moment in time.

Participating Artists include Robin Adler, Karen Allen, Bob Barry, Joel Brown, Dan Florin, Nate Hill, Nataliya Hines, George Kimmerling, Linda Lauro-Lazin, Nansi T. Lent, Síle Marrinan, Soli Pierce, Eileen Sackman, and Ilse Schreiber-Noll.

Shows run until Sunday, May 3rd.
