![]() ![]() Hopefully those with some spending money have an opportunity to acquire these works. Local artists will still have a venue, albeit an online one, and for we art lovers now will have a chance to view their latest creations. With the Shut-in going on and no set date for it to end I decided to offer an online digital gallery each month. These monthly gatherings allowed our artists to show their visions and even make a dollar or two by offering up their works. Every month -before the COVID apocalypse- I enjoyed going to Troy Night Art (especially The Photography Center of the Capital District), Arts, Letters and Numbers (art colony in Averill Park), and Albany’s First Night (especially the Opalka Gallery and Albany Institute), to name a few. The Capital District is full of great artists.

The latest-but, sadly, not greatest- Night Shift story adaptation to hit screens is The Boogeyman, premiering in theaters on June 2. Other stories, such as “Jerusalem’s Lot,” “The Mangler,” and “Quitters, Inc.,” have also been adapted in one form or another “Trucks,” a tale of vehicles run amok, even provided the basis for King’s only film-directing credit: 1986’s Maximum Overdrive. Perhaps its most notable tale is “Children of the Corn,” a spooky account of murderous kids that yielded a cheesy-but-fun 1984 film, several sequels, and multiple remakes-including one released this March. Night Shift, Stephen King’s first collection of horror stories, has spawned numerous adaptations since its 1978 publication. ![]() |
