    Virtual Fix-It Clinic

    Is there a fallen hem in your favorite shirt? Did your blender suddenly stop working? Is your child's toy a little worse for the wear? Fix-It Clinic coaches may be able to teach you how to fix these items, and more, from the comfort of your home. Submit the questionnaire through the "register" link below (the sooner the better) about your broken item and if repair coaches think your item might be fixable with common tools, they'll reserve a time between 11am and 2pm on Sat., May 16, for you to chat live with a repair coach.
    Clinic is May 16; register ASAP to participate

    Wally Workman Gallery: Diana Greenberg

    Here's a virtual exhibition tour (with an artist talk), featuring the newest show at WWG. "Initially inspired by figures or structures within nature," says artist Greenberg," I am interested in the process by which the figure or other composition disappears through layers and is replaced by abstraction and color. My grid series reference a specific time and place, often a distillation of landscapes. By working with an attention to negative space, layered drawing, and a variety of medium I hope to evoke an overall sense of calm."
    Through May 31. Free.

    Zoolander (2001)

    Rejoice, drive-in fans! Doc's is still showing films, with a new “Get out, go home” policy. Purchase everything online, even food and drinks, so you never have to leave your vehicle. They’ll direct you to a spot and you'll tune in on your car radio to hear the film. Concession orders will be placed on the roof of the car, so you don't have to worry about potential unsafe interactions. It's a safe, fun way to get out and see a movie on the big screen.
