Do not miss DM Weil gallery if you are in the New Paltz area! Donna's art is absolutely stunning--vibrant, colorful, joyful, radiating light. Donna works on premises and it is so special to hear her talk about her wonderful art on display. Donna, Sammy, and Ken are so sweet and welcoming, as well as incredibly knowledgeable with regards to both the art and the many printing services they do in house. This was a wonderful place to spend the afternoon, not to mention I picked up the most unique hand-painted overalls!

My Mother (71), my Grandmother (92), my Daughter (15) and I (43), wanted to Celebrate my Birthday in a fun and different way while staying local, because my Grandmother has a difficult time sitting in the car for a long time. Normally my Daughter and I are Broadway bound for special occasions so we weren't anticipating much more than some nice family time together. However, we were all SOOOO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by the caliber of acting, choice of Plays and the extremely comfortable intimate venue that we felt equally as entertained and pleased as if we had made one of our NYC trips to an actual Broadway Show... and all for such a reasonable price and the ease of it being practically right in our own "back yard". The performance had us literally crying, laughing, holding our breath and warming our hearts as if we ourselves were in the "experience". And then, to top it off, we walked over across the parking lot and enjoyed a delicious and eloquent meal at this charming little restaurant with outdoor tables looking over the picturesque mountains. Although, it was too chilly to utilize the outdoor dining, we found the inside just as quaint yet contemporary as one of our favorite City Eateries. We were all so pleased (and surprised at the Theater's comfortable seating for my 92 year old Grandmother to enjoy the entire show without any back complaints that usually come up), that we decided to make it a monthly tradition. We all STRONGLY RECOMMEND everyone to come and experience for yourselves what we believe is now one of New Paltz's and the Hudson Valley's Local Treasures!
3. Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art

I was very impressed by the Dorsky Museum on the SUNY New Platz campus. This small museum of about five small galleries packs a nice punch in the art department. The small gallery to the left had a display of permanent art from the college collection that was very interesting. They have a unique collection of all sorts ancient and modern art. The main galleries had exhibitions on The Mohonk House Hotel close by, a photography exhibition by Marcuse Pfeifer and a painting portrait exhibition by artist Angela Dufresne, all of which were very interesting. The nice part of the museum is that it is not overwhelming like some of the larger museums in NYC where it becomes overwhelming with the exhibitions and you have to go back six times to see it all. The Dorsky Museum has nice sized galleries and you can take everything in in about three hours. Also the museum is free unless you want to donate $5.00 to the museum.
