“Art Asks” Exhibition and Opening Reception at Wilton Library

Artists often ask to exhibit their works at Wilton Library, and although there is a Summer Show featuring local contributors, some artists were unable to participate or do not live within Wilton’s boundaries. This February show features several artists who have made such inquiries. Thus, the topic of questions regarding art seemed like a natural theme for the show.

Each artist provided the library with questions about their art: what they hope viewers will contemplate when considering the work, what they typically ask themself when creating, or what their own questions are as a viewer. Those thoughts will be shared as part of the exhibit, and the community is invited to think about their queries when viewing the works.

These pieces represent a wide variety of styles, media, and subject matter. The artists are: Grace Barbieri (Norwalk), Cindy Bernier (Norwalk), Lacey Bernier (Wilton), Shivani De Bree (Wilton), Gini Fischer (Wilton), and Christian Mouser.

An Opening Reception on Friday, Feb. 9 from 6-7:30 p.m. is free and open to the public. The exhibition runs through March 14. A majority of the works are available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the library.
