Gilded Age Redux @ Lockwood Mathews Mansion

The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, in collaboration with Rowayton Arts Center, will present Gilded Age Redux, a juried group exhibition opening to the public on Oct. 18, 2017 through Jan. 7, 2018, 12-4 p.m. with a reception on Oct. 26, 2017, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at 295 West Avenue, Norwalk, CT.

Juried and curated by Trustees Julyen Norman and Gail Ingis, the exhibition will feature artists: Sandra Farley Aldrich, Bridget Cusack, Dawn Dahl, Jo Ann Davidson, Katherine Draper, Laure Dunne, Sawyer Hanlon, Judy Katz, Emily Kelting, Dana Laird, Heidi Lewis Coleman, Judy Noel, Pamela Tucker, and Richard Ventre.

Mr. Norman said, “This exhibit of original art work is focused on today’s interpretation of the 19th century Gilded Age. Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum invited RAC artists to interpret this turbulent yet seminal period of recent American history and draw parallels with today’s social, political, and economic environment. The resulting works selected for this exhibit span the spectrum, from traditional-style still life paintings, to posed photographic references, to purely abstract gestural images, demonstrating the rich vein of material that the Gilded Age contains.”

The exhibition is made possible in part by RAC. RSVP by Oct. 20 for the reception on Oct. 26, 2017, 5:30-7:30 p.m., at 295 West Avenue, Norwalk, CT, $5 members and $10 non-members.
