🎨 Catch These Two Art Installations While You Can

• “HARINGS!” If you needed another reason to visit Kanopi in White Plains other than the incredible views, highly rated farm-to-table Portuguese tasting menu or its James Beard Award semifinalist owner / chef, now you have one… Kanopi has partnered with Greenwich’s Trimper Gallery to showcase renowned pop artist Keith Haring’s rare, original 1980s subway style pieces in the dining room. The installation runs through August 29.

• “Smoke in Our Hair: Native Memory and Unsettled Time” This powerful exhibit at the Hudson River Museum takes a closer look at the birth of America through the lens of 22 Native American, Alaska Native, First Nations, and Métis artists. This exhibit runs through August 31.
