Some of these old pieces still
smell, Stomberg said. So there s a sensory element that s missing. What virtual offerings
can do is keep people connected. In an age of isolation, that s invaluable. At Shelburne Museum, Denenberg said, We re trying to keep people distracted and engaged though he conceded that it s hard to predict which online programming will appeal to the public. Of the museum s 35 or so online offerings in the past year, a six-week virtual quilt club was its most successful. Who knew so many people were into quilting? Denenberg marveled. Connectedness has been a boon to more than the quilting crowd, though. Museums themselves are joining forces in new ways and using that combined strength to make their resources more accessible to the public.

Matt Neckers It goes without saying that Johnson, Vt., bears no resemblance to New York City, and its Pearl Street most certainly is not Fifth Avenue. Yet those who pass by
Vermont Studio Center after dark are currently privy to a window display rivaling those of any Big Apple department store. It s a view of

Wood Gaylor, Quietly Dazzling, Helped an Art World Invent Itself
Two shows introduce a forgotten innovator who fused modernism, folk art and documentary to portray his beloved New York scene.
Wood Gaylor made gregarious portrayals of New York artists of the Penguin group. In “Posters” (1920), he showed them collaborating on enormous painted posters for a Red Cross bond drive in 1918.Credit.Samuel Gaylor and The Heckscher Museum of Art

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. In the early decades of the 20th-century, things happened in the New York art world when painters like Walt Kuhn, Florine Stettheimer and Wood Gaylor took matters into their own hands. They established clubs and professional organizations and mounted exhibitions including the 1913 Armory Show, which jump-started American modernism with heady exposure to the European kind.
