Croton Landing

 

This grove, located at Croton Landing, will be dedicated to the many residents and businesses of Croton-on-Hudson who were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that began in the year 2020. The Croton Rotary conceived of this space to commemorate the resilience the community demonstrated in overcoming the severe challenges presented by this disease. Those efforts exemplify the Rotary philosophy of “Service Above Self.”

Croton Free Library

 

Mark your calendars for May 7 & 8, when the familiar facade of the Library will become a digital canvas! After sunset, Croton artist Motomichi Nakamura will transform the facade of the Library with a digital art installation. His creative projections transform our familiar local surroundings with monsters — multifaceted creatures who are simultaneously monstrous and endearing; mysterious and playful. Free, outdoors, and open to all! Bring your mask and stay socially distanced while you enjoy the exhibit. To see more of Motomichi’s work in Croton and beyond, check out his current exhibition with nowhere-nyc.
