FALLS VILLAGE — The “Playing with Art” show that opened last week at the David M. Hunt Library is a real grab-bag.

The show includes creations from a collection of area artists utilizing a variety of media.

There is a section reserved for artworks made by children.

There are quilts from the Hunt Library Quilters.

There are pieces from local artists, including Robert Cronin, Erica Crofut and Ken Musselman.

There are animations based on the books and art of Eric Carle.

And hovering above it all are richly detailed dragonflies, made by art students of the New York Educational Program in Manhattan, including Falls Village’s John Hodgson.

The subtitle of the show is “Art and Animation for Children of All Ages.” The sense of playfulness is pervasive.

The show is on display through April 25.

As homecoming week reaches its end and fall sports finish out the season, an air of school spirit and student participation seems to be on the rise across Housatonic Valley Regional High School.

But what can be attributed to this sudden peak of student interest? That’s largely due to SGA. Also known as the Student Government Association, SGA has dedicated itself to creating events to bring the entire student body together. This year, they decided to change some traditions.

The weekend of Homecoming at HVRHS was packed with events including rival games under the lights, senior night, and a new take on Homecoming that moves it outside — and it wouldn’t have been possible without the students of Housatonic.
