The Dorsky Museum of Art - Art museum in New Paltz - Administration Parking Lot 15, 1 Hawk Dr, USA

Great expwriance getting to see family artwork being shown

They have some weird videos there : P The paintings are good and colorful. The room with the sculptures is still a little bit empty

Beautiful campus. Museum was small but interesting

Wonderful little museum on campus- two large gallery spaces that were filled with a broad range of pieces from the permanent collection and special exhibitions. Al for a $5 suggested donation Logistics: park in the visitor lot across route 32 and walk across the road onto campus

Go. This is an excellent small museum with a surprising collection and great shows.

If you're in the New Paltz area, consider paying a visit to the Dorsky museum on the grounds of SUNY New Paltz. Always changing with a small static collection, it's a great spot to pick your artistic self up!

A fantastic display of art open at a time when art is quite inaccessible. The current display of Kathy Goodell's work is awe inspiring and we'll worth the visit

What was advertised was not there. On the cover of the gallery guide for the Steven Holl: Making Architecture exhibition curated by Nina Stritler-levine is a photo of an interior shot of a house in Rhinebeck, NY designed by Holl called, Exploration of IN House. Naturally, being on the gallery guide and posted on line, I thought there would be more about this photo at the exhibit; there was nothing. When I asked the attendant I was told they weren't too sure but it should be associated with one of the models on the floor; there was nothing. (NOT HIS FAULT AT ALL-completely respectful staff) Then he handed me a floor map, which was confusing at best. I really wanted to see more on Exploration of IN. It looks interesting. Where is located; who was it designed for; there is a lot of wood used; Is it all recycled? (I found out later where it is.) I feel like we were misled. It would be equivalent to posting a picture of Fallingwater, one of the most famous works of Frank Lloyd Wright, for an exhibit and finding presentations of only his most industrial works upon walking in. I left the museum not really understanding who Steven Holl is. The overall presentation was disorganized. Exploration of IN looked peaceful and harmonious. When we got to the exhibit there were tiny models and pictures of the most inorganic, and unsymmetrical structures that looked like a spaceship crashed. Almost every rendering made you ask, “why would someone commission an architect to do that.” That is just my opinion; but, how do we get, using displays not word and video, from Exploration of IN to The Campbell Sports Center. I learned more about Steven Holl by going on line and doing an Image search for (Steven Holl "most famous buildings") One could argue that all the models and other visuals were enough to visually figure out who Steven Hall is. And, I would agree if not for being pulled in by Exploration of IN!
