WHEN GRACE HARTIGAN WAS A LITTLE girl, she was bewitched by gypsies. In the 1930s, the Travelers still roamed the countryside in nomadic caravans, and young Grace would shinny up the apple tree in her parents' backyard in Newark, N.J., to spy on them. She spent hours watching the women in colorful skirts and big hoop earrings telling fortunes, the men sharpening their knives.

Walters' manuscripts More than 20 illuminated manuscripts are on display in a cool, dim gallery at the Walters Art Museum in a show called Illuminating the Word: Gospel Books in the Middle Ages. The books originate from Europe and North Africa. Pages open for view are intensely detailed, illustrated with brilliant colors and covered in text written in ancient languages. One page is almost entirely brushed with gold. Another is covered with delicate Irish lattice designs. One manuscript dates from 875 A.D., is worth millions of dollars and will not be on display again for at least five years.

The etchings and drawings exhibition on view at the Maryland Federation of Art's City Gallery on Charles Street may be one of the loveliest shows in town this month, which makes the imminent prospect of losing such a sparkling venue all the more troubling. City Gallery director Pam Wilson said last week that the MFA, which has long supported a distinguished exhibition venue in Annapolis, is seriously considering giving up its Baltimore space because of financial pressures. If that were to happen, the current show, which runs through Nov. 15, could be among the gallery's last.

Michael Bolton is on his cell phone, talking about his current concert tour while sitting in a Chicago dressing room, when a member of the production crew interrupts him. "I'm sorry," Bolton says, cutting the conversation short, "They're telling me the show has begun. I have to get into my stage clothes, and go out and get nailed to a cross." Under any other circumstance, one would take that to mean Bolton was about to perform for a crowd of rock critics. In this case, however, he's being quite literal, because the opening number in Bolton's current show - a semi-theatrical spectacular entitled "The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber" (which opens at the Lyric Opera House this evening)
