The work on view in the new exhibit is by 50 artists, mainly from Connecticut and New York. It ranges from delicate drawings, paintings, and photographs to finely crafted sculpture and ceramics.
The opening reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1. It is free and open to the public. The gallery is located in Waveny Park in New Canaan.
The exhibit will run until Sunday, Dec. 21.
The juror of the exhibition is Lee Findlay Potter, director of the David Findlay Jr. Gallery in New York, which specializes American painting and sculpture from the late 19th century to the present. She is the fifth generation of art dealers in her family and her father, David Findlay, is a longtime resident of New Canaan.
The co-directors, Arianne Faber Kolb and Eleanor Flatow, selected early miniature works to provide a historical and educational context for some of the contemporary art in the show.
