“I live in Texas, and I stumbled upon this incredible record store three years ago while on a quest to own all the Taylor Swift albums, and it has been an unforgettable experience ever since. From the very first order, which arrived perfectly packaged and promptly, I was impressed. When I discovered that the store is based in Poughkeepsie, NY, it rendered me silent – my late Grandma was born and raised there, making my connection to this store feel deeply personal and special.Over the years, I have ordered several items, and each one has arrived with the same care and attention to detail. It’s clear that this store truly values its customers and takes pride in their work. Despite never having spoken to them directly, I feel a personal relationship with this store, thanks to their consistent excellence and the nostalgic connection to my Grandma's hometown.To anyone looking for a reliable, heartfelt, and professional record store, look no further. This place is a gem, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.Thank you for the wonderful service and for the unexpected connection to my past.”
“Beautifully blown glass, gifts, jewelry. The glassware is the showcase, though. No place like it. Local artists' works are upstairs. Quite simply, it is a unique place for art, gifts, and fun browsing.”
“Distortion Society was welcoming, clean, and comfortable. The shop is also a contemporary art gallery, which was different and refreshing to me since most shop's walls are covered in flash or the like.
Bradley is a very talented artist who was patient, communicative, and flexible with me during our project. His style aligns well with my tastes and he's just so easy to collaborate with. I couldn't be happier with the results!
I'm not one to get sticker shock, especially when it comes to my tattoos. Art is art. The years an artist has spent honing their skills is rarely understood by us [the clients]. The piece that Bradley designed and gave to me feels priceless. I can't say every tattoo shop deals in priceless art, but Distortion Society does.
Thanks Bradley & Distortion Society!”

“Free art museum with a remarkable variety, from ancient artifacts to modern art, including some Picasso, Rothko, and others.
Vassar grounds are also beautiful.”
“Attended an event at the studio on Tuesday and it was amazing. The owners are wonderful, and I'm looking forward to returning for a class. This was my very first clay experience so try not to laugh too hard at my cup/bowl or and it was not intimidating. It was fun and definitely support this young small business. Looking forward to a glaze class.”
“Gallery openings are always amazing. Everyone is so chill and nice. Promoting amazing work by artists all over the country for Hudson Valley and elsewhere to enjoy”
“Marie framed a silk scarf for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. She was very patient in showing me lots of mat and frame options. I ultimately ended up picking the same option they liked best as well, and it came together beautifully. I have gotten tons of compliments on the frame choice, and the handyman who helped me hang it remarked at the excellent quality of the frame as well as the hanging hardware they had applied. Really appreciate the detail and care they put into the piece, and it’s extra special to support a family owned business. You won’t go wrong!”
“This is a must see Gallery in Beacon, Ny. Not only are the owners extraordinary artists & wonderful people, they also represent several other amazing artists. (Check out back yard)”
“A lovely jewelry shop full of very unique and absolutely beautiful creations. The staff is always very friendly, very helpful and they know the original creators of their jewelry. I have bought two extraordinarily beautiful and unique necklaces from the store and I plan to go back very soon to add to my collection.”
“Beautiful house we got to meet both artists. They were very warm and inviting. The museum is so overwhelming but in a very good way. The property is unbelievably gorgeous.”
