“So much for Christmas”
Vita brevis, ars longa. The week before Christmas finds MacNeice in London’s National Gallery. Outside, movement continues and suggests ephemerality. Inside, “Other worlds persist,” caught and elevated to significance by the artists’ attention, by the achievements of form.
Last March, sensing how things were going and that museum doors would soon be shut, I stole an hour between meetings to duck into the Smith College Museum of Art. The visit felt like a last leave-taking from old friends (I took quick photographs of some favorite works) and like a farewell to the very act of standing in front of paintings (as opposed to staring at reproductions). During the intervening months, that experience of seeing art, of finding some consolatory order and endurance in the frame, was one I keenly missed. I’ve been able to get back into galleries lately, and I have found the frantic rhythms of my mind soothed by those long moments before the canvases. MacN

Duluth Flower Farm now has different homeschool kits for students of all ages.
Kids can come to the store and buy their own homemade crafts, which range from winter decorated pots to wreath kits.
“I just think it’s important for kids to be able to see a process and a product and be able to use nature and see what’s available in our community to be inspired and create,” said Brook Hoffbauer, the owner of Duluth Flower Farm.
