Don't miss Va Va Vroom! The Art of the Vehicle, a new exhibit opening Sunday, April 19, at 3:00 PM at the Carriage Barn Arts Center 681 South Ave, Waveny Park, New Canaan, CT
Opening Reception – Saturday, April 19 3-5 pm
This art show celebrates the history of the 19th century Carriage Barn in Waveny Park, New Canaan. The Carriage Barn, which was restored by the Lapham family in 1913, originally housed horses, carriages, and cars. Jack Lapham, who was fond of flying, introduced airplanes to his parents’ Waveny estate. This rich history of vehicles at Waveny will be presented in a curated section of the exhibition.
Works in all media will focus on the various modes of transportation, from the past to the present. The design of cars and motorcycles is an art form in itself and its aesthetic qualities have inspired artists for generations. Approximately 90 works by contemporary artists will be displayed with three vintage motorcycles from a private collection and vintage racing posters.
