Beacon, NY — Garage Gallery presents an exhibit of Susan Keiser’s “Frozen Beauty” as part of the BEACON OPEN STUDIO weekend.

Keiser photographs flowers caught between rapidly thawing sheets of ice and flowing water. As bubbles are released and move with the current, they bounce off the petals in an intricate dance. Once alive and growing, she captures their frozen, reanimated beauty.

July 20–21, Sat/Sun 12–6pm

Opening Reception, July 20th, 4–6pm
1⁄2 block north of Main Street on N. Elm St.

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
