Riverwinds Gallery

If you are looking for a piece of functional art to give as a gift, this shop has many items made by local artists at reasonable prices. The shop is a bit cramped due to showcasing so many items. If you are looking for a place to show and sell your work, keep looking. They don’t treat their craftspeople very well. I can accept my items were rejected, but it took them almost a year to send me a condescending letter about it. Also, I have heard complaints from local craftspeople whose work is sold there. Their whole focus is sales — not the art and artists.

Nice little gallery on Main Street in Beacon. They sell all local stuff. I adore places like these. Such a great place to do Christmas shopping, and you have the added benefit of supporting local artists.
Lots of items, from photographs and paintings, Christmas ornaments, cards, scarves, jewelry, and much more! I saw a lot of things I liked, but I only wound up buying a pair of earrings (for myself!) ($ 25) that are Christmas themed (see picture!). Will definitely return any time I go to Beacon!

A nice little gallery in Beacon, selling mostly local wares. I didn’t realize that Beacon was a destination because of the Dia Contemporary Art Museum, but it makes sense that their Main Street would be host to a few galleries.
This is not a modern art gallery– in fact, it is more like your Mother’s art gallery, with hand woven scarves, hand knit scarves, and other Art/​Craft items.
A lot of art is framed and ready for you to take home, some of it is not my style at all, some of it I really liked and would be happy to have, especially the lovely paintings of the Hudson River Valley in the gilded style frames, I’m into that aesthetic now and then.
They sell many photos that are just mounted on foam board, which are affordable, and cards that also represent the local sights. I got cards for Christmas here, that was about all of the purchasing I did.
They could use some more interesting jewelery.
