The (big) art scene

Multicolored steel ribbons and large blocks of metal created by artist John Chamberlain provided the backdrop for this fall”™s annual cocktail fundraiser at Dia:Beacon. Guests of the Sept. 24 event were dwarfed by the physical immensity of the artworks whose imposing presence let any one know that they were not in just another museum.

Ann Chambers Meagher, president and CEO of the Greater Southern Dutchess Chamber of Commerce, was the honoree of the event.
