Let’s face it, this is a terrifying time: We are living in quarantine and trying to avoid infection from a potentially fatal disease.
Counter-intuitively, this might be the perfect time to check out two horror offerings from Netflix.
A show of work by Lakeville, Conn., artist Karen LeSage opens on Friday, May 29, at the Ober Gallery in Kent Barns, 6 North Main St. in Kent, Conn.
LeSage has a devoted following; her last show at the gallery sold out.
The screens are dark, the doors are closed and there’s no popcorn for now at The Moviehouse in Millerton, N.Y., but owner and co-founder Carol Sadlon has been working hard to provide entertainment to her community, with “streaming” presentations of films, opera and more.
“Julietta,” above, is one of a series of wall sculptures by Julie Maren at Kenise Barnes Fine Art in Kent, Conn. This 36 x 36 x 6 inch work is made of acorn tops that are bedazzled with paint, crystal, glass, brass and more. The show opens on June 6.
A two-person show of work by a painter from Canada and a sculptor from Boulder, Colo., will open on June 6 at Kenise Barnes Fine Art, 7 Fulling Lane in Kent, Conn.
Everyone is baking and that means there is no King Arthur flour to be found at any local stores or even at the King Arthur website.
But there’s plenty of flour at Wild Hive Farm Community Grain Project in Clinton Corners, N.Y., which has tons of it (literally).

In the May 14 Compass, we wrote about historical societies and artists who are trying to collect images and texts that will someday remind us of how completely weird this year has been.
Perhaps you think the headline, above, adds too much sizzle to what might seem a dusty 19th-century novel. But I will contend that “Madame Bovary” was a notorious kind of a character whose downfall is still relevant to the modern world.
By now you’ve probably heard Scottish sports broadcaster Andrew Cotter doing hilarious play-by-play commentary as his two dogs, Olive and Mabel, do what dogs do (eat, play, swim).
Cotter is one of a handful of sportscasters who has been dedicating their expertise to activities that do not involve balls, cleats or sweat.
Remember seventh-grade Earth Science, when you came to the abrupt concurrent realizations that
a) Photosynthesis and Respiration are interdependent, so that we need plants as much for air as we need them for food, and that
b) Miss Howe was actually quite beautiful, and might embody the potential for a perfect symbiosis?
Perhaps you’ve decided that as long as you’re inside during the quarantine, you might as well explore the poems and plays of William Shakespeare.
