international epicenter
for art and artists, New
York has a reach that extends far beyond
the notable museums and galleries dotted
throughout Manhattan and the five boroughs.
Indeed the state's aesthetic, creative offerings
transverse not only style and medium - but
location as well. From Wall Street to the
Adirondacks and all points in between, art is
a catalyst that has elevated the Empire state
to the top of a destination wish list favored

driven travelers.
is summer, the New York art scene shines
brighter than ever thanks to myriad gallery
shows opening to the applause of critics and
the art loving public at large. While high
profile exhibits including the Metropolitan
Museum's Charles James at the Anna Wintour
Costume Center have garnered the lion's share
of media attention, there are other gleaming,
artistic gems patiently waiting to be found.
One need simply head north.
For those looking to combine the joy of art
with the bliss of a summer day spent in the
great outdoors, New York's bucolic Hudson
Valley Region delivers an unparalleled
experience via the Storm King Art Center.
Located an hour north– and a world away-
from Manhattan sits a widely celebrated
sculpture park considered amongst the worlds
best. Welcoming visitors from around the
corner and around the globe, the Storm King
Art Center is a five hundred acre landscape
of pure beauty set against majestic mountain
views. While not necessarily well known by
tourists and often overlooked by natives given
its location off the urban trail; the museum
and its grounds are a stunning setting for
an important collection of more than 100
ingeniously installed, often site specific pieces
of sculpture.
