This opportunity is right in the wheelhouse of many Y’s Men! 

First Selectman Kevin Christie is looking for residents to serve on a variety of Town boards, commissions, and committees. There are immediate openings on the Flood & Erosion Control Board.

It’s an opportunity to put your professional experience to work, stay engaged, and help shape decisions that impact Westport, including parks and recreation, housing, the environment, and more. The time commitment is very manageable.

And you don’t have to navigate it alone. Fellow Y’s Men Jim Marpe, former Westport First Selectman, and Dewey Loselle, former Westport Operations Manager, are both available to share their insights and help guide anyone interested in getting involved.

A great way to give back and make a real difference in Westport.

Y's Men Visit Dia Beacon Museum in Beacon, NY

Y’s Men at the Dia Beacon Museum last Monday are dwarfed by Richard Serra’s Union of the Torus and the Sphere (2001), a monumental weathered‑steel arc that turns a simple walk into an exercise in spatial awareness. More photos are shown on the Y's Men Facebook site (click here).

Dia Beacon is a major museum of contemporary art with more exhibition space than Manhattan’s Guggenheim, Whitney Museum, and MoMA combined. 

The former Nabisco box-printing plant, on the Hudson River at Beacon, NY, makes it an appropriate setting for the Dia Foundation’s permanent collection of art from the 1960s and ‘70s, including “oversized” works and sculptures.

Each of the artists represented have individual galleries fashioned specifically for their creations. Taken together, their works represent nearly all of the important late 20th century art movements—abstract expressionism, minimalism, conceptual and pop art. Highlights include works by Andy Warhol, Dan Flavin, Louise Bourgeois and Richard Serra.

The trip was arranged by Y's Man Keith Barber.
