Culture in West Nyack

A non-profit art center on ten acres off South Greenbush Road, founded in 1947 by a group that included Aaron Copland and Helen Hayes, and moved out from a Nyack storefront in the 1950s. The indoor exhibitions change through the year and are always free. Behind the building, the Catherine Konner Sculpture Park puts rotating work across the grounds and is open dawn to dusk seven days a week, whether or not the galleries are.

Mon to Fri, 10am to 5pm. Sat, 10am to 4pm. Closed Sun

The hamlet's library on Strawtown Road, open to anyone who walks in. There is a reading area, public computers and a program calendar that runs most weeks. Borrowing needs a card, but sitting down with what is on the shelf does not. It stays open to 9pm from Monday through Thursday.

Mon to Thu, 9:30am to 9pm. Fri and Sat, 9:30am to 5pm. Sun, 1pm to 5pm
