Art Show: June 19 - 21 and 24 - 28, 11 AM - 4 PM, FREE
Photographer Carmen Martin, of Ridgefield, CT, strives to capture "a moment that typically goes unnoticed." Painter Diane Hunt, of Pound Ridge, NY, is inspired by her travels in the US, Russia, Europe, and South America. Joan Ogren, of Wilton, CT, creates whimsical mixed media collages and boxed assemblages that reflect her "passion for unusual, offbeat found objects and flea market finds."
A portion of the artist's sales will go towards the restoration of the
historic Cass Gilbert Carriage Barn.
