If you're not busy getting your exercise with a shovel this snowy weekend, there's plenty to do artistically (though you might want to check ahead to see if your favorite galleries and performers are taking a snow day).
Through tomorrow, Westchester Community College in Valhalla presents student art in its Fine Arts Gallery. 914-606-7867, www.sunywcc.edu
Westchester Ballet Company offers "The Nutcracker at the Westchester County Center" in White Plains today through Sunday. 914-864-8077. (If you can't get to these performances but still want to see "The Nutcracker" locally, Ballet du Monde, the appropriately named international troupe, stages the Tchaikovsky classic Tuesday and Wednesday at Tarrytown Music Hall. 877-840-0457, www.tarrytownmusichall.org)
Last but certainly not least, the Dutch artist Wineke Gartz is making a name for herself with a sound and light show at the Arts Exchange in White Plains— home of my partner, ArtsWestchester — through Jan. 29. "Morgana, Plains, from silver to gold" is a series of painterly video installations that explores the Hudson Valley while also providing viewers with a portrait of the artist as a playful young woman. 914-428-4220, www.artswestchester.org
Look for more on Gartz and her work in an upcoming post. Be safe in the snow!
