Artists in the Parks (AiP) is a program of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission (PIPC) that positions artists as essential partners in the conservation, education, and community initiatives of parks. This program creates opportunities for creative growth and public exposure for local artists, and encourages artistic exploration of the Palisades region. In all that we do, we aim to nurture a love, understanding, and respect for the natural world. Keep Rockland Beautiful (KRB) is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to community cleanup and beautification since 1997. Learn more at www.KeepRocklandBeautiful.org In cooperation with the Palisades Interstate Parks Commission (PIPC). The historic Bath House at Nyack Beach State Park is a massive stone building that once housed powerful steam engines driving rock crushing machines for Hook Mtn quarries. In 1936, the building was re-purposed as a place for park visitors and beach goers to meet, eat and change clothes. With its 200’ balcony of extinct American Chestnut and grand fireplace, the Bath House is truly a gem in the rough. The restoration of this forgotten treasure continues this fall with a series of volunteer work days organized by Keep Rockland Beautiful, and of course, the Awards Gala, during which the public is invited to eat, drink and be merry down by the river.
