ART IN THE WINDOW EXHIBITION

The Carriage Barn Arts Center is seeking artists to showcase their artworks in store windows in New Canaan. Most of the stores in New Canaan have agreed to participate in this wonderful event, which promotes artists and the Carriage Barn Arts Center.

This year we will kick off the event with a Pop Up Art Day! on Saturday, May 30th, 12-3 pm. We encourage participating artists to take part in plein air painting on Elm Street and the Pop Up Park in town that afternoon.

Please take into consideration that store space is limited and not all submissions can be exhibited. Any medium is welcome, including sculptures. There are no substitutions once artworks for the exhibit are chosen. The designation of artwork in the stores is at the discretion of the Co-Directors and the Art in the Windows Chair, Barbel Green.

The entry prospectus with specific information and entry form is available at the gallery’s website. For further questions, please call the Gallery at 203.972.1895.

The mission of the New Canaan Society for the Arts, Inc. is to promote the visual and performing arts, to enrich the community through exhibitions, education, and cultural experiences, and to operate the Carriage Barn Arts Center. Exhibitions, lectures, educational workshops, concerts and other events are held in this adaptively reused historical building on the grounds of a former estate, now Waveny Park.

Gallery hours are Wednesday - Saturday from 10 am - 3 pm, Sunday 1 - 5 pm. The Carriage Barn Arts Center is located in Waveny Park, off South Avenue (Rte. 124), 1/4 mile north of Merritt Parkway Exit 37. Tel: 203.972.1895 or www.carriagebarn.org
