• Maybe it’s the morbid spirit brought on by living with a global pandemic for the past seven months, or maybe its the need for a last outdoor hurrah when faced with the prospect of spending months more huddled indoors, but Halloween is far from canceled this year. From spine-chilling stories to haunted museums of curios, trunk-or-treating to a jack-o-lantern patch to drive-in scary movies, community groups from one end of the East End to the other are putting together unique Halloween festivities in the upcoming week. Here are some highlights.
• In tandem with its current installation, Red, Gold, and You, Guild Hall in East Hampton will host a blood drive in partnership with the New York Blood Center today from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Red, Gold, and You consists of cellular patterns of red paper and gold tape woven through the trees and shrubbery while a team of mindful artists alter and gradually redesign the piece, embracing the beauty of impermanence and chance. Here’s some more information.
