Who we are

Soon is Now is a climate and eco themed arts organization producing exhibitions, live performances, residencies and artist-led workshops on the Hudson River/Muhheakantuck in Beacon, NY.

We support original works by artists engaging with environmental themes and place their work in conversation with the landscape of Scenic Hudson’s Long Dock Park, a former industrial site and brownfield, now transformed into a resilient, sustainable park.

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 incredible natural beauty and art to inspire deeper awareness of the state of our planet, the history that brought us to this place, and the future we can imagine.

Long Dock Park is on the unceded land of the Lenni Lenape, Wappinger and Munsee, 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.
