• Decision To Not Arrest Trio Yelling At County Building In Beacon Prompts Favoritism Concerns (dailyvoice.com) — Police in Beacon are explaining why three people yelling outside the county building at 223 Main Street were not arrested, despite possible low-level charges. Chief Thomas Figlia says officers used de-escalation techniques instead, stressing that this approach is common for minor offenses and people in crisis, and does not reflect favoritism toward anyone involved.
• John Chamberlain's Works Return to Dia Beacon (airmail.news) — Beacon art lovers can now revisit John Chamberlain's powerful sculptures at Dia Beacon, where a new long-term exhibition traces his evolution from pliable materials back to twisted, painted steel. The show highlights how he transformed crushed car parts and other industrial scraps into vivid, space-altering forms, offering residents a substantial new reason to spend time at the museum.
• Botanical Photography: The Basics and Moving Beyond the Basics: Carol Bouyoucos (lenscratch.com) — Local art followers may recognize Beacon from photographer Carol Bouyoucos's recent show at BAU Gallery, listed among her key exhibitions. The profile explains how she builds large-scale digital botanical works inspired by Hudson Valley landscapes and art history, offering context for anyone who's seen or may seek out her work in Beacon and nearby towns.
