Scenic Hudson educator Kate Phipps and artist Audra Wolowiec invite you to explore the shore of the Hudson River at Long Dock Park. Participants of all ages will receive a notebook for a self-guided walk including a map, activities to engage the senses, and writing about water to buoy visitors through and along the waterfront. During the walk, participants will find secret locations to take part in collaborative drawings inspired by artist Michelle Stuart and the ever-changing landscape of the Hudson River. The self-guided experience continues at Dia:Beacon, where participants are invited to view Stuart’s work and continue their exploration.
