Members Exhibition Online
Guild Hall’s 82nd Artist Members Exhibition, which opened in the museum on March 7, is now available online in two formats.
Each of the 435 artworks can be seen individually along with its specifications, sale price, and purchasing options. Moving a cursor over each image yields a close-up view. In addition, two tracking shots reminiscent of the film “1917” float through the galleries to afford a glimpse of each work and the overall installation.
“I could not have imagined a better exhibition to be ‘quarantined’ in the Guild Hall Museum right now,” said its director and chief curator, Christina Strassfield.
New at Halsey McKay
Halsey McKay Gallery in East Hampton is launching two solo exhibitions on Saturday for passersby and with the hope it will be able to reopen its space in the coming weeks. “Never Paint a Ladder” features paintings of rural architectural spaces by Henry Glavin that move between graphic silhouettes, ink washes, and impasto brushstrokes.
“All the Distant Places” presents abstract works created by Miranda Fengyuan Zhang in wool on wood panels that focus on the relationships between form and content and blur the line between handicrafts and “high” art.
Virtual Programming at Bay Street
Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor is presenting “Sip and Sing With Valerie di Lorenzo” on Fridays at 5 p.m. through April. The singer and cabaret artist will perform via Zoom. Registration is through the theater’s box office.
The theater will launch three virtual classes during April. In additon to its previously announced TheaterCamp, for kids ages 7 to 13, and now underway, “Lights, Camera, Action!” will acquaint teenagers and adults with on-camera acting training starting April 18. Wade Dooley, an actor and playwright, will lead a weekly workshop focused on shaping true stories into appealing narrative forms. The sessions will begin April 22. Registration for classes is through the theater’s website.
Bay Street has also offered a code good for a free month of the streaming service Broadway HD. The code, BSTFM, can be entered when signing up on broadwayhd.com.
