The pieces in “Aqua” take their inspiration from water. Gallery curator Sooo-z Mastropietro says, “With the 71 percent of the earth’s surface covered with water, we are constantly reminded of the beauty, the magic, the strength and the importance of this substance. These pieces represent water in its many forms, powerful yet fragile, peaceful yet tremendous, abundant yet scarce.”

Exhibiting artists include Kathy Conway of North Haven, Karen Kalkstein of Stamford, Bronislava Slagle of Wilton, Steve Wallerstein of Norwalk and Gregory Dolnikowski of Boston, among others.

The Maritime Garage Gallery is part of the Parking Authority’s “Art in Parking Places” initiative, an effort to support art in public spaces making Norwalk a more vibrant destination. The gallery is free and open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

“Aqua” will run through July 8. Click here for more information about the Maritime Garage Gallery.

The Maritime Garage Gallery is located within the Maritime Parking Garage at 11 N. Water St., South Norwalk.
