Name: Of Frame and Fallow
Start: 2026-06-27T18:00:00-04:00

Site Seen presents Of Frame and Fallow, a one-night-only contemporary art exhibition transforming a vacant former Dollar General in Esopus, New York into an immersive temporary art environment.
Featuring work by more than 50 artists from across the Hudson Valley, New York City, and beyond, the exhibition explores themes of place, transition, memory, transformation, and the hidden potential of overlooked spaces.
Rather than presenting art within the traditional white-cube gallery model, Of Frame and Fallow embraces the architecture and history of a recently abandoned commercial building, allowing artists and visitors alike to engage directly with a site caught between past and future uses.
The exhibition includes painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, and mixed media works, accompanied by artist process videos displayed throughout the space. There are no traditional wall labels, encouraging visitors to experience the work through discovery, conversation, and exploration.
Presented by Site Seen, a Hudson Valley nonprofit dedicated to activating overlooked and transitional spaces through contemporary art.
Free and open to the public.
Saturday, June 27, 2026 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
