Barrington's White House shifts cultural programming online
Known for live music and other programming, Barrington's White House has shifted to free virtual entertainment as the state's stay-at-home order continues.
The online series "Virtual Arts and Culture" started this month and has programming scheduled into mid-June.
Village officials said that while residents and others are unable to join together in a love for art and culture, the White House still wants to be a source of joy.
Using the Zoom video conference platform, the White House has been featuring a visual artist or performer. White House favorite Steve Puttrich kicked off the series May 7 live from his home studio to give a mini demonstration of his oil painting process, from initial sketch to under painting and final touches.
Artist Judy Skulborstad is set for 7 to 8 p.m. May 21. As part of the program, she's expected to provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse at her workspace, motivation, inspiration and process.
Singer-songwriter Pat McKillen is scheduled for 7 to 8 p.m. June 6. The evening will include a question-and-answer session for would-be songwriters.
What's called a "Jazz Pizzazz Sampler" is slated for 7 to 8 p.m. June 13.
