WTDTW-13

Friday the 13th is never an unlucky day for arts lovers, as there is always plenty for them to savor.

This weekend, you can revel in the curvilinear grandeur of Frank Lloyd Wright's Marin County Civic Center — and Robert A. Baron's photographs of the same (left) — in "Against the Grain" at the Mamaroneck Artists' Guild. The show runs through Nov. 21. 914-834-1117, www.mamaroneckartistsguild.org. For more on Baron's exhilarating work, log on to http://www.studiolo.org/pix/gallery68.htm.

WTDTW would also like to salute an idea whose time has come: A previous post discussed examples of artists exhibiting in empty storefronts. Add to them Lisa Breznak, of Lisa Breznak Decorative Arts & Design in Peekskill, who is exhibiting two of her Shinto-inspired trees in the window of 910 Main St. there for the next few months as owner Gregory Perez readies the property for a makeover. The storefront exhibit is part of Peekskill's City Spaces program, 914-293-0916.

Staying with art, "The Fingerprint Project 1990-2009," featuring the undulating, silhouetted work of Sandy Garnett, is at the White Plains Public Library's Museum Gallery (through Jan. 5). 914-422-1480, www.whiteplainslibrary.org. While in White Plains, you can take in the Conservatory Theatre's production of Elton John's "Aida" at the Performing Arts Center (tonight through Sunday). 914-328-1600, www.wppac.com.

If student theater is your thing, you might also want to check out Purchase Repertory Theatre, at the college of the same name, which presents Jean Genet's controversial political play "The Balcony" through tomorrow. 914-251-6200.

Meanwhile, tube types won't want to miss "Collision," which begins on PBS' "Masterpiece Contemporary" at 9 p.m. Sunday. It's what the movie "Crash" might've been if it had been this intelligent an exploration of the extent to which the choices we make affect the lives of others. Hang on for next Sunday's conclusion, which has a kicker of an ending.

It will have you scratching your head for a long time.
