'ArtNORMOUS In Stamford Downtown' Coming This Summer

STAMFORD, CT — Stamford Downtown has announced a new exhibit coming this summer as part of its "Art in Public Places" initiative.

ArtNORMOUS in Stamford Downtown, presented by Reckson & Cappelli Organization in partnership with George Comfort & Sons, will be on display in the downtown area beginning in June and running until September.

This year’s exhibit ArtNORMOUS in Stamford Downtown features seven larger-than-life bronze works of art from four renowned artists including:

• Joy Brown: One Leaning on Another; Two Together
• Jim Rennert: Inner Dialogue; Timing; Walking the Tightrope
• Bjørn Okholm Skaarup: Hippo Ballerina
• Martha Pettigrew: Gossip

The Rennert, Brown and Skaarup sculptures are on loan from Cavalier Galleries of New York, Greenwich, Nantucket and Palm Beach.

"This exhibit demonstrates the extraordinary commitment to art and culture that is part of Stamford Downtown’s DNA," Stamford Downtown said in a news release.

Art in Public Places is one of Stamford Downtown’s signature events which engages the public in the arts and enlivens downtown streets and parks.

Now in its 31st year, this public art program is one of the city’s premiere cultural events.

Since its inception, Art in Public Places has grown in size and prominence, providing major works of outdoor sculpture for all to enjoy and drawing a regional audience to the city.
