New Exhibition Debuts at the Rowayton Arts Center in October

NORWALK, CT — A new exhibition entitled “Expressions” is scheduled to open at the Rowayton Arts Center on Sunday, Oct. 2, officials announced.

Featuring the work of both regional RAC members and non-members alike, the exhibition allowed artists the freedom to express themselves without restrictions on theme or medium, and organizers said attendees therefore should "expect surprises."

One surprise is the guest appearance of Connecticut Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-25th), who will award the first annual “Senator’s Selection” prize. This will be a first for RAC and a first for Norwalk. Another prize for “Best in Show” is the $250 Mavis Fenner Memorial Award. The juror for the show is Sue Brown Gordon, a painter and jewelry designer. The exhibit is chaired by Yuko Ike and co-chaired by Judy Noel and Kaz Oda.

The public is invited to attend the free opening reception from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 2, at the arts center, located along the banks of the Five Mile River at 145 Rowayton Ave.

The arts center is a cultural hub where local and regional artists of all ages and levels of expertise gather for education, exhibition and inspiration. Through its classes, gallery, outreach programs and events, the Arts Center endeavors to promote creativity in the arts and to expand its involvement within the community.

Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday 11-5pm, Sunday 1-4pm. “Expressions” will be in the gallery until October 30. For more information, visit: www.rowaytonarts.org.
