Let’s face it, this is a terrifying time: We are living in quarantine and trying to avoid infection from a potentially fatal disease.

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.
