Nearby: Cold Spring, NYWord count: 5210 Paragraphs: 58 Portraits of Nancy Olnick & Giorgio Spanu, pencil on paper by Phong H. Bui. Magazzino Italian Art, in Cold Spring, New York, is a museum and research center devoted to postwar and contemporary Italian art, above all Arte Povera. It grew out of the collection of Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu, who also collect Murano glass, Italian ceramics, artist-made jewelry, and Art Deco furniture, and who opened Magazzino in 2017 in the former Cyberchron factory and warehouse. In the conversation that follows, Stockman and Pissarro speak with Olnick and Spanu about how a visit to the Castello di Rivoli set them on the path to Arte Povera. They describe their relationships with designers Massimo and Lella Vignelli, and curator Germano Celant, as well as their work with the architects Alberto Campo Baeza and Miguel Quismondo. Finally they consider what is to be done to secure Magazzino’s future. Magazzino Italian Art, Cold Spring, NY. Courtesy MQ Architecture.

Nearby: Chappaqua, NYFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had a two-word farewell for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) after CNN projected the MAGA firebrand would lose her reelection bid to Democrat Eileen Laubacher in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.

Lauren Boebert will lose reelection to Democrat Eileen Laubacher in Colorado, CNN projects,” with the caption: “Bye, Felicia.” The line comes from the 1995 comedy Friday and has become a popular internet meme for dismissively sending someone off. Many of Clinton’s followers cheered the post, hailing the return of “Spicy Hillary” and calling the jab well-deserved payback. Subscribe To Our Cheat Sheet One week of political news in your inbox!

Rockland County Times · West Nyack, NY
Nearby: West Nyack, NYBy Rick Pezzullo For Jason C. Tramm, his love of music began before he learned how to walk. “I was born singing, much to the consternation of my three brothers,” said Tramm, a resident of Valley Cottage. “I first sang as a soloist in my church (at age five), Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in West Nyack. I have felt the deepest connection to music for as long as I can remember. I love to move people’s emotions as only music can!” A graduate of Clarkstown South High School, where his four children also later attended, Tramm has made music a central part of his life as a teacher at Seton Hall University, a professional conductor for more than 25 years and a leader of regional opera and choral organizations. “My love of music came first, and teaching grew naturally out of the desire to share that excitement with others. I see conducting as a form of teaching,” Tramm explained.
Lakeville Journal · Kent, CT
Nearby: Kent, CTThere’s a corner of YouTube populated by real-time footage of high-dollar art sales from prestigious New York and London auction houses like Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Phillips. Hundreds of thousands of viewers routinely watch with rapt attention, popcorn and cocktails in hand, as recognizable pieces from art history make their way to the upper echelons of grossly unattainable hammer prices. Pieces can often start with opening bids of tens of thousands of dollars and work their way up to multiple millions. Bidding increments alone can grow to sums unattainable for the average American family in several lifetimes. Kenise Barnes Fine Art in Kent, Connecticut, wants to help make fine art more accessible. The 2026 version of the gallery’s annual “Cool and Collected” exhibition is subtitled “The Gift Edit” and features dozens of works by fine artists at prices that are much more in reach than an art-world outsider might expect. More than 30 artists contributed pieces to the show.

Lakeville Journal · Sharon, CT
Nearby: Sharon, CTSHARON — Residents can honor loved ones while supporting local emergency responders through two holiday fundraisers: the Sharon Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary’s annual Memory Tree and the ambulance squad’s “Lights of Love” display on the town Green. The auxiliary is accepting $5 donations for ornaments bearing the names of family members, friends and loved ones. The Memory Tree will be displayed at Town Hall from Nov. 25 through Dec. 31. Tina Pitcher, an auxiliary member and Sharon’s town secretary, said she proposed the fundraiser in 2014 after Sharon Hospital stopped offering a memory tree. The auxiliary uses proceeds from the tree and other fundraisers, including bunco games, to help meet equipment needs at the fire department and ambulance squad, Pitcher said. The group has four or five members who also provide food and coffee to firefighters and other emergency responders at incident scenes.
Lakeville Journal · Litchfield, CT
Nearby: Litchfield, CTThe gallery is really meant to create a very intimate relationship with the artist and the story behind their work. —Jennifer TerzianOn a recent crisp, fall afternoon in Litchfield, Jennifer Terzian welcomed a steady stream of collectors, artists, and art-world insiders into her jewel box of an art space on South Street, just off the town’s manicured historic Green. The occasion was an opening for Jenny Kemp, an artist noted for balancing fluidity and structure in her abstractions through repetition, variation, and gradual shifts in hue. Hers is exactly the kind of tactile, process-driven work Terzian champions at a subterranean space that feels less like a commercial art gallery and more like stumbling into an impeccably edited sanctuary of contemporary thought. “I don’t really consider myself a traditional gallerist,” explained Terzian, a Southern California native who moved to Connecticut in 2008.
