SOON IS NOW brings climate art and live performance to Scenic Hudson’s Long Dock Park, a former industrial site and brownfield transformed by Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architects, the Scenic Hudson Land Trust, the city of Beacon, and other partners, into an ecologically sustainable park on the Hudson River in Beacon, NY. This site is on the unceded land of the Wappinger, in a region with a vital history of environmentalism rooted in Scenic Hudson’s fight to save Storm King Mountain from industry and Pete Seeger’s fight for an unpolluted Hudson River.
Based on the belief that art can reach the hearts and minds of audiences on this most urgent and overwhelming challenge of our time, SOON IS NOW invites the public into this space of evocative performance and art to inspire deeper awareness of climate change and its impacts.
