Things To Do

Opus 40 Sculpture Park
Opus 40 is a monumental environmental sculpture rising out of an abandoned bluestone quarry at the foot of Overlook Mountain in Saugerties, New York. It is all the work of one man: the sculptor Harvey Fite. Extending over more than six acres, with thousands of tons of exquisitely laid dry stone walling, Opus 40 is one of the most extraordinary attractions in the Hudson Valley. Opus 40 Inc, founded in 1978 by Fite’s widow, Barbara, now comprises Opus 4o, Fite’s 6.5 acre sculpture, as well as 63 acres of meadows, forested quarry trails, and historic buildings like the Fite House, Fite’s home and original studio, and the Quarryman’s Museum, his homage to local quarrymen.
The Dorsky Museum of Art
Through its collections, exhibitions, and public programs, The Dorsky supports and enriches the academic curriculum at the college, presents a broad range of world art for study and enjoyment, and serves as a center for Hudson Valley arts and culture. With six elegant galleries comprising more than 9,000 square feet of exhibition space, the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz is a major cultural resource in the Hudson Valley and one of the largest museums in the university system. The Dorsky's permanent collection comprises roughly 6,000 works of art, with areas of focus that include American Art, with an emphasis on the Hudson Valley and Catskill Region, 19th, 20th and 21st century photography and metals.
