At G. Hancock Framing and Art Gallery, seasoned staff members help tailor artistic inklings to individual needs with custom canvas-printing and framing services. The image wizards convert digital photographs into wall-ready canvas art and encase treasured photographs, illustrations, or passport photos in an array of imported Italian frames during custom framing sessions. In addition, the shop stages photography shoots and curates the work of local painters and photographers.:
The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival is dedicated to producing the plays of Shakespeare with an economy of style that focuses its energy and resources on script, actors and audience. We communicate the stories with energy, clarity and invention and we distill rather than embellish the language and action.
Happy shrieks drift through the brushy pines of Marine Park’s 1,000-acre estate, wafting from campgrounds and the slate-blue waters of Herring Cove Pond. On the private beaches, warm-skinned guests cut through the afternoon sun on rented paddleboats or scream down 40-foot-tall waterslides. Lodgers park RVs or set up tents on secluded campsites equipped with fresh water from an artesian well, or use a mini-golf course for practice or attempts to trick Tiger Woods into thinking he has become a giant.
Robbie Wiseman earned his black belt in kenpo karate at age 11, going on to earn an International Kickboxing Federation world-championship belt. He found that the discipline gleaned from kenpo helped him in school and beyond. Through Wiseman's Martial Arts, he shares the same philosophies that bettered his life with students, inviting parents and children to train side-by-side and to learn time-tested techniques for improving focus or dealing with bullies.
Beyond kenpo karate training, Wiseman's Martial Arts also offers fitness boot camps and cardio-kickboxing classes. Whether you're studying martial arts or just getting in shape, the fully matted 6,000-square-foot facility provides ample space to work up a sweat or play pickup games of Cirque du Soleil.
A gathering spot for local quilting aficionados, Piece Makers Quilt Shop fills its bright retail space with both name-brand supplies and quilting events. Guests can survey the shop's inventory of Baby Lock sewing machines, flannels, and poly-cottons, or make crafty new pals during a sociable evening or weekend class. Cathy Pittman and the shop's other knowledgeable instructors teach disciplines ranging from quilt making and alterations to basic sewing classes, where students may rent one of the shop's sewing machines or prethreaded pogo sticks.
An expanse of 550-million-year-old rock surrounds the geological exhibits at Johnson Geo Centre, a 33,600-square-foot facility that resides mostly in stone’s favourite hangout: underground. There, the Steele Earth & Space Theatre screens high-definition science-minded films in 2-D and 3-D, and the Geo Theatre projects the four-billion-year history of the earth onto a rock wall featuring a cave, running stream, and glowing lava. Exhibitions include scientific oddities such as a cutaway of the earth and 565-million-year-old fossils preserved in layers of volcanic ash. The museum also highlights the educational opportunities found in more recent events: real-life artifacts and interactive kiosks tell the Titanic's tragic story, and the ExxonMobil Oil and Gas Gallery explores energy with scale models of an oil tanker and offshore supply vessel.
At the KidZone, youngsters aged 1–7 can put on science-inspired plays on the puppet-theatre stage or study trilobites and eight-track tapes in the fossil corner. The gift shop also outfits kids with educational books and games, and adults can stock up on agate wind chimes and sterling-silver jewellery. In between bites of Manna sandwiches in the café, members can peruse schedules of numerous monthly events or plan enrollment in summer camps aimed at junior scientists.
