Barrett Art Center

A wonderful place to see contemporary art in a year round calendar of national, regional, and membership shows. The shows are consistently fresh and unexpected and display a wide range of exhibiting artists. The galleries in BAC's landmark home are a gracious setting for the art and a warm, inviting environment for artists, art lovers, and community members to meet.

The Barrett Art Center is a wonderful arts organization. Their shows always surprise me with the high level of quality curators and exhibiting artists they put together. It’s a gem in the Hudson Valley arts landscape.

You can't beat art in a historic house which adjoins a National Historic District. The gallery is a local and visitor-friendly place to engage with art lovers. During shows, one can speak to and learn techniques of some of the artists. Classes are available. Thomas Barrett's art, the family archives, and the Dutchess County Art Association 's archives are a small museum, in and of themselves.

Poughkeepsie has a little gem hiding on Noxon Street. A beautiful art gallery exhibiting both national and local artists. And a gallery that cares about its own community too! Visit! Enjoy! Engage! You'll be glad you did.

Great selection of diverse works of art in a beautiful historic architectural setting!
