For some Virtual yet Live Entertainment for a good cause, The CENTER for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck is hosting a’ Community Champions Telethon,’ developed in response to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our community’s cherished first responders. This event is proudly sponsored by local individuals, businesses, and organizations, 100% of the donations raised from this event will go directly to Northern Dutchess Hospital, Rhinebeck Fire Department, and The Baptist Home at Brookmeade.

Try something new and join a fun fitness class conveniently located in Midtown Kingston at the awesome new Energy Square building- ‘DANCE XROSS FITNESS DXF’ at CCE! DXF uses different genres of fun and basic dance movements in classic and contemporary styles to get you moving and having fun.

Two awesome virtual events being offered by ‘Bardavon Presents’ are Bardavon Presents Virtual Cinema – ‘WAR HORSE.’ War Horse is a powerfully moving and imaginative stage drama, based on the beloved novel by Michael Morpurgo. This event is available for customers to buy “appointment screenings” daily, so check out the event below to schedule a screening. Another awesome virtual stream is ‘OPEN PRACTICE’ by Philippe Petit, which gives audiences front row seats to observe Petit’s creative process and the origins of many of his unique walks and moves on the wire. Help support UPAC and the Bardavon and keep the entertainment going!

For some safe Hudson Valley history, check out the Hudson River Maritime Museum’s Limited Open Admission. And while you’re on the Rondout- check out ARTPORT for their ‘Follow the Line’ Exhibition, running from March 6- April 11, 2021. Two more awesome art events- Green Kill presents “Three,” an exhibition curated by Joel Silverstein, featuring Tine Kindermann, Joel Silverstein and Miguel Trelles. And, you can still catch THE LOCKWOOD GALLERY presenting “Bruce Cahn: Discovered,” a solo exhibition highlighting the prolific though little known practice of the late artist Bruce Cahn (1942-2020).
