Two Great Art Events Upcoming at The Westport Library

Westport, CT - The Artists Collective of Westport explores the inner world of physical, metaphysical and emotional spaces through the visual arts with an all-member show titled "INTERIORS: A LOOK INSIDE" at The Westport Library this summer. Some of the contributors this year are Bonnie Edelman, Lynn Carlson, Peggy Dembicer and Ros Shaffer, as well as Norm Siegel, Suzanne Benton, Julie Leff, Trace Burroughs, Diane Pollack, Miggs Burroughs, Kat Evans, Niki Ketchman and more.

On June 6, the two-part exhibition will encompass all three of the Library’s galleries — One exhibit, INTERIORS: A LOOK INSIDE in the Sheffer Gallery and South Gallery, and the PIECE BY PIECE reveal in the Jesup Gallery.

Piece by Piece is a 6-foot by 8-foot art installation composed of the work of 48 Artists Collective members. Each artist received a 12-inch by 12-inch blank panel along with a 12-inch square section randomly selected from a well-known modern painting. The artists created their individual piece, replicating a part of the larger painting in their own style, without knowing what the final painting will look like until it is revealed at the opening reception.

Each 12-inch by 12-inch “piece” of Piece by Piece will be available for purchase starting the night of the reception. Each square will be $100, with 50% of the proceeds supporting the Library’s art programs and 50% going to the artist.

The additional artworks on display in the Sheffer and South Galleries will also be available for purchase, with a percentage of the proceeds also going to benefit the Library’s art programming. Additional exhibit support is provided by The Drew Friedman Community Arts Center.

Don’t miss the reception and reveal!

WHEN: Reception June 6, 6-7:30pm. (Collective show on view Jun 6 - July 29)

WHERE: WESTPORT LIBRARY

Mingle with the artists and art lovers and have a conversation over a glass of wine.
