SUMMARY:Continental Drift: Encounters\, North and South
DESCRIPTION:Continental Drift: Encounters\, North and South\nAn exhibition presented by browngrotta arts\nOctober 17–25\, 2026 | Wilton\, Connecticut \nThis October\, browngrotta arts presents Continental Drift: Encounters\, North and South\, an exhibition exploring how artistic tradition migrates\, transforms\, and takes root across the Americas — and beyond. The show brings together more than 40 leading fiber and sculptural artists\, tracing lines of influence that cross borders\, generations\, and continents. \nAbout the Exhibition \nThe exhibition takes its name from the geological process by which continents slowly separate\, collide\, and reshape one another over time — a metaphor the gallery uses to examine how artistic traditions move across the Americas in much the same way. Art\, like land\, does not stay fixed in place; it drifts\, merges\, and reforms wherever it travels. \nContinental Drift approaches this idea from two directions. The first brings together significant artists from the United States\, Canada\, Chile\, Venezuela\, Argentina\, and Colombia — many shaped not only by their countries of origin\, but by lived connections to other regions as well. The second gathers work by artists from outside North and South America whose practices reflect a direct encounter with American art\, artists\, or experience\, evidence that these traditions travel outward just as readily as they move within the hemisphere. \n“Art doesn’t stay put any more than land does\,” said Tom Grotta\, co-curator of browngrotta arts. “The artists in this exhibition carry more than one place with them — a training\, a teacher\, a landscape\, a material tradition — and you can see it in the work itself.” \nA Five-Decade Checklist \nThe exhibition’s checklist spans five decades of studio practice\, pairing pioneering figures in American fiber art with artists working today\, including Adela Akers\, Sheila Hicks\, Ferne Jacobs\, Lia Cook\, Kay Sekimachi\, Lenore Tawney\, Gyöngy Laky\, Trude Guermonprez\, Ed Rossbach\, Carolina Yrarrázaval\, Ximena Ibañez\, Eduardo Portillo and María Dávila\, James Bassler\, Mariette Rousseau-Vermette\, and dozens of others working across textile\, basketry\, and mixed-media sculpture. \nHighlights \nHighlights include Ximena Ibañez of Argentina\, who merges fiber and ceramic; Carolina Yrarrázaval\, whose woven pieces draw directly on Chilean textile tradition; and Eduardo Portillo and María Dávila\, whose Venezuela-based studio incorporates natural dye and silk production into a contemporary fine art practice. \nThe exhibition also features Canadian artists Micheline Beauchemin and Dawn MacNutt\, and American artist Adela Akers\, who worked closely with weavers in Peru and Mexico. Sheila Hicks and Ferne Jacobs — credited with establishing fiber as a sculptural medium in the mid-20th century — appear alongside Lia Cook and Kay Sekimachi\, celebrated for their weaving innovations. \nInternational artists who credit North or South America as key influences round out the second thread: Jiro Yonezawa\, whose bamboo work bridges Japanese technique with American form; Mariette Rousseau-Vermette\, who worked with American weaver Dorothy Liebes; basketmakers Tim Johnson (UK) and Stéphanie Jacques (Belgium)\, who both cite Ed Rossbach as an influence; and Danish weaver Trine Ellitsgaard\, reflecting three-plus decades living in Mexico. \nExhibition Details \n\nDates: October 17–25\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, October 17\, 11 am–6 pm\nGallery Hours: Sunday\, Oct 18\, 11 am–6 pm; Mon–Sat\, Oct 19–24\, 10 am–5 pm; Sunday\, Oct 25\, 11 am–6 pm\nLocation: browngrotta arts\, 276 Ridgefield Road\, Wilton\, CT 06897\nAdmission: Free and open to the public\nPrivate Viewings: By appointment for collectors\, consultants\, and design professionals\, Oct 16–25. Reservations recommended.\nNote: No narrow heels — the gallery has barn floors.\n\nAbout browngrotta arts \nbrowngrotta arts is a Wilton\, Connecticut-based gallery specializing in contemporary fiber and mixed-media sculpture\, representing an international roster of artists. Founded by Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown\, the gallery has organized exhibitions and produced scholarly catalogs on fiber art for more than 38 years.

SUMMARY:Continental Drift: Encounters\, North and South
DESCRIPTION:Continental Drift: Encounters\, North and South\nAn exhibition presented by browngrotta arts\nOctober 17–25\, 2026 | Wilton\, Connecticut \nThis October\, browngrotta arts presents Continental Drift: Encounters\, North and South\, an exhibition exploring how artistic tradition migrates\, transforms\, and takes root across the Americas — and beyond. The show brings together more than 40 leading fiber and sculptural artists\, tracing lines of influence that cross borders\, generations\, and continents. \nAbout the Exhibition \nThe exhibition takes its name from the geological process by which continents slowly separate\, collide\, and reshape one another over time — a metaphor the gallery uses to examine how artistic traditions move across the Americas in much the same way. Art\, like land\, does not stay fixed in place; it drifts\, merges\, and reforms wherever it travels. \nContinental Drift approaches this idea from two directions. The first brings together significant artists from the United States\, Canada\, Chile\, Venezuela\, Argentina\, and Colombia — many shaped not only by their countries of origin\, but by lived connections to other regions as well. The second gathers work by artists from outside North and South America whose practices reflect a direct encounter with American art\, artists\, or experience\, evidence that these traditions travel outward just as readily as they move within the hemisphere. \n“Art doesn’t stay put any more than land does\,” said Tom Grotta\, co-curator of browngrotta arts. “The artists in this exhibition carry more than one place with them — a training\, a teacher\, a landscape\, a material tradition — and you can see it in the work itself.” \nA Five-Decade Checklist \nThe exhibition’s checklist spans five decades of studio practice\, pairing pioneering figures in American fiber art with artists working today\, including Adela Akers\, Sheila Hicks\, Ferne Jacobs\, Lia Cook\, Kay Sekimachi\, Lenore Tawney\, Gyöngy Laky\, Trude Guermonprez\, Ed Rossbach\, Carolina Yrarrázaval\, Ximena Ibañez\, Eduardo Portillo and María Dávila\, James Bassler\, Mariette Rousseau-Vermette\, and dozens of others working across textile\, basketry\, and mixed-media sculpture. \nHighlights \nHighlights include Ximena Ibañez of Argentina\, who merges fiber and ceramic; Carolina Yrarrázaval\, whose woven pieces draw directly on Chilean textile tradition; and Eduardo Portillo and María Dávila\, whose Venezuela-based studio incorporates natural dye and silk production into a contemporary fine art practice. \nThe exhibition also features Canadian artists Micheline Beauchemin and Dawn MacNutt\, and American artist Adela Akers\, who worked closely with weavers in Peru and Mexico. Sheila Hicks and Ferne Jacobs — credited with establishing fiber as a sculptural medium in the mid-20th century — appear alongside Lia Cook and Kay Sekimachi\, celebrated for their weaving innovations. \nInternational artists who credit North or South America as key influences round out the second thread: Jiro Yonezawa\, whose bamboo work bridges Japanese technique with American form; Mariette Rousseau-Vermette\, who worked with American weaver Dorothy Liebes; basketmakers Tim Johnson (UK) and Stéphanie Jacques (Belgium)\, who both cite Ed Rossbach as an influence; and Danish weaver Trine Ellitsgaard\, reflecting three-plus decades living in Mexico. \nExhibition Details \n\nDates: October 17–25\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, October 17\, 11 am–6 pm\nGallery Hours: Sunday\, Oct 18\, 11 am–6 pm; Mon–Sat\, Oct 19–24\, 10 am–5 pm; Sunday\, Oct 25\, 11 am–6 pm\nLocation: browngrotta arts\, 276 Ridgefield Road\, Wilton\, CT 06897\nAdmission: Free and open to the public\nPrivate Viewings: By appointment for collectors\, consultants\, and design professionals\, Oct 16–25. Reservations recommended.\nNote: No narrow heels — the gallery has barn floors.\n\nAbout browngrotta arts \nbrowngrotta arts is a Wilton\, Connecticut-based gallery specializing in contemporary fiber and mixed-media sculpture\, representing an international roster of artists. Founded by Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown\, the gallery has organized exhibitions and produced scholarly catalogs on fiber art for more than 38 years.

SUMMARY:The Enduring Legend of The Leatherman
DESCRIPTION:Of all the legendary figures who have come through Connecticut\, few have had the staying power or notoriety that The Leatherman has achieved. \nFor six years during the late 1800s\,this so-called “vagabond” hiked the same\, 364-mile\, circuitous route every 34 days like clockwork. Residents could predict when he would return to their town. Wearing a self-made suit of leather\, from head to toe\, he conversed with no one and slept in caves. We still don’t know who he was\, but people loved him. \nHear about The Leatherman from noted Connecticut podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen on Thursday evening\, Oct. 15\, at the Wilton Historical Society. Allen specializes in bringing history to life\, through his background in journalism\, radio broadcasting\, podcasting and public speaking. He hosted the podcast\, “Amazing Tales About History\,” for four years\, producing more than 200 episodes on Connecticut history. For 10 years\, Allen was news director at Connecticut radio station I-95 before becoming press secretary to the mayor of Danbury. During a subsequent\, 25-year corporate career\, he worked and lived internationally\, specializing in marketing. Allen has lived in Connecticut for more than 50 years and currently resides in Danbury. \nThe talk will be held on Thursday\, Oct. 15\, at 7 p.m. at the Wilton Historical Society (224 Danbury Rd.). The event is free for Historical Society members\, and $10 for non-members.

SUMMARY:Iconoclasm in Wilton: The Revolutionary-era Statue of King George III
DESCRIPTION:Join the Wilton Historical Society on Wednesday\, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. for a presentation by University of Delaware professor Wendy Bellion that will explore the 1776 tearing down of the King George statue and Wilton’s direct role in the historic events that followed. \nOn the night of July 9\, 1776\, a crowd emboldened by a public reading of the Declaration of Independence pulled a huge equestrian statue of George III from its pedestal at Bowling Green in lower Manhattan. A British officer conveyed the decapitated head to London\, intending to demonstrate the patriots’ defiance\, and soldiers transported the remaining fragments via Wilton to Litchfield\, where the statue was melted down and recast as ammunition for Continental soldiers. En route\, loyalists in Wilton absconded with pieces of the statue\, concealing them in fields\, swamps and cellars. This talk revisits this dramatic episode of the American Revolution and explores its lesser-known afterlife in the 19th- and 20th century\, when the fragments re-emerged as historical relics and re-enactors recreated the lost statue — only to destroy it all over again. \nBellion is Professor of Art History and Sewell C. Biggs Chair in American Art at the University of Delaware. Her scholarship focuses on the art and material culture of the 18th- and 19th-century Atlantic world and the early modern Americas. Her most recent publications include the books Iconoclasm in New York: Revolution to Reenactment (2019); Citizen Spectator: Art\, Illusion and Visual Perception in Early National America (2011)\, which was awarded the Smithsonian Institution’s Eldredge Prize; and the co-edited volume Material Cultures of the Global Eighteenth Century: Art\, Mobility\, and Change (2023). Her current research explores the women of the family of artist Charles Willson Peale. \nThe event is free for Historical Society members and $10 for non-members.
