Recently reopened after a destructive fire, the Maine Jewish Museum in Portland is hosting an online art auction curated by Barridoff Galleries founders and former owners Annette and Rob Elowitch. More than 75 artists offered work for the auction, including many of Maine’s leading contemporary artists.
A preview of the artwork available in the auction is open on the Maine Jewish Museum website, and the auction will run online for two weeks, beginning at noon Sunday, through May 9. Proceeds will benefit the museum’s mission of supporting and honoring Maine’s Jewish community and building “bridges of appreciation and understanding with people of all backgrounds,” according to a press release.

Find a comfortable spot at home and travel with the Strand Theatre to London for a filmed production of the Tony Award-winning musical “Kinky Boots.” The show is based on actual events involving Charlie Price who inherited a show factory from his father and winds up forming an allegiance with cabaret and drag performer Lola to produce some epic, company-saving high-heeled boots. Eighties icon Cyndi Lauper wrote the music and lyrics, and the book is by celebrated playwright and actor Harvey Fierstein. Don’t drag your heels when it comes to grabbing a ticket!
