Our latest exhibition features a dazzling display of digital art by three amazing artists. Please be sure to stop into the gallery for this power visual experience and join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 11, to learn more about the digital medium and hear the artists explain how they each use their own unique processes and techniques to create this extraordinary work.
Joanie Landau was born and raised in New York, where her passion for visual art began early. She was initially drawn to collagraphs, an uncommon form of printmaking that captivated her with its rich textures and hands-on process. This fascination eventually evolved into her current body of work: Digital Collagraphs, where photographic imagery merges seamlessly with graphic design techniques. Much like traditional printmaking, her digital process retains a sense of discovery and visual alchemy. Landau studied printmaking at the Silvermine School of Art, earning both the Rembrandt Award for Excellence in Graphic Art and First Prize in Mixed Media. Her studio has been featured in East Coast Home, and her artwork is frequently highlighted in various publications.
Over the past decade, Joanie has exhibited in solo, juried, and group exhibitions across the United States, receiving numerous awards for her innovative work. She is an active member of the Artists Collective of Westport and the Carriage Barn Arts Center, and her work is represented by art consultants and interior designers.
Tina Sommers holds a B.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her photography has been recognized by Abercrombie & Kent, the Delamar Hotel Collection, and Travel + Leisure, among others. She continues to exhibit her work in local galleries, and has shown in coastal Newport and Savannah.
“My creative journey began with the vibrant hues of Crayons and Magic Markers, and the glowing patterns of Lite-Brite,” says Tina. “Guided by a lifelong fascination with color and discovery, I explore the intersection of nature and technology through digital photography and immersive visual experiences.”
Influenced by childhood travels with her parents and the striking photomicrographs from Zeiss calendars shared by her father, Tina’s work fuses the microscopic with the monumental – revealing hidden beauty through a creative and curious lens.
Peter Mendelson is a Connecticut-based fine art photographer with a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. When he moved to New York City, he discovered his passion for photography. Over time, his work evolved into a distinctive visual language, He further refined his artistic vision through workshops with renowned photographers.
In 2023, Peter left his legal career to fully devote himself to fine art photography. His award-winning work has been exhibited in galleries across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. His fine art prints are held in both private and professional collections, and his photography has been featured in a variety of publications spanning art, design, travel, and style.
Peter states, “My photography explores the evolving relationship between humans and their environments, capturing the imprint of culture, time, and transformation in both urban and coastal landscapes… I embrace a sense of the past, drawing attention to the layers of history embedded in everyday places that may evoke personal and collective memories. At the same time, I interlace these subjects with a modern twist and sense of humor, employing bold colors, graphic compositions, and framing materials like aluminum and acrylic to amplify the vibrancy and depth of each image. Through this approach, I strive to create a joyful and visually compelling dialogue that bridges nostalgia with a contemporary perspective.”

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.
“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.
Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.
In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 15, October 19, 1987–featuring the former home of the Whitney Museum of American Art (1966), designed by Marcel Breuer–resonates with the postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by circular skylights.
Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.
Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land

Our latest exhibition features a dazzling display of digital art by three amazing artists. Please be sure to stop into the gallery for this power visual experience and join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 11, to learn more about the digital medium and hear the artists explain how they each use their own unique processes and techniques to create this extraordinary work.
Joanie Landau was born and raised in New York, where her passion for visual art began early. She was initially drawn to collagraphs, an uncommon form of printmaking that captivated her with its rich textures and hands-on process. This fascination eventually evolved into her current body of work: Digital Collagraphs, where photographic imagery merges seamlessly with graphic design techniques. Much like traditional printmaking, her digital process retains a sense of discovery and visual alchemy. Landau studied printmaking at the Silvermine School of Art, earning both the Rembrandt Award for Excellence in Graphic Art and First Prize in Mixed Media. Her studio has been featured in East Coast Home, and her artwork is frequently highlighted in various publications.
Over the past decade, Joanie has exhibited in solo, juried, and group exhibitions across the United States, receiving numerous awards for her innovative work. She is an active member of the Artists Collective of Westport and the Carriage Barn Arts Center, and her work is represented by art consultants and interior designers.
Tina Sommers holds a B.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her photography has been recognized by Abercrombie & Kent, the Delamar Hotel Collection, and Travel + Leisure, among others. She continues to exhibit her work in local galleries, and has shown in coastal Newport and Savannah.
“My creative journey began with the vibrant hues of Crayons and Magic Markers, and the glowing patterns of Lite-Brite,” says Tina. “Guided by a lifelong fascination with color and discovery, I explore the intersection of nature and technology through digital photography and immersive visual experiences.”
Influenced by childhood travels with her parents and the striking photomicrographs from Zeiss calendars shared by her father, Tina’s work fuses the microscopic with the monumental – revealing hidden beauty through a creative and curious lens.
Peter Mendelson is a Connecticut-based fine art photographer with a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. When he moved to New York City, he discovered his passion for photography. Over time, his work evolved into a distinctive visual language, He further refined his artistic vision through workshops with renowned photographers.
In 2023, Peter left his legal career to fully devote himself to fine art photography. His award-winning work has been exhibited in galleries across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. His fine art prints are held in both private and professional collections, and his photography has been featured in a variety of publications spanning art, design, travel, and style.
Peter states, “My photography explores the evolving relationship between humans and their environments, capturing the imprint of culture, time, and transformation in both urban and coastal landscapes… I embrace a sense of the past, drawing attention to the layers of history embedded in everyday places that may evoke personal and collective memories. At the same time, I interlace these subjects with a modern twist and sense of humor, employing bold colors, graphic compositions, and framing materials like aluminum and acrylic to amplify the vibrancy and depth of each image. Through this approach, I strive to create a joyful and visually compelling dialogue that bridges nostalgia with a contemporary perspective.”

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.
“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.
Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.
In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 15, October 19, 1987–featuring the former home of the Whitney Museum of American Art (1966), designed by Marcel Breuer–resonates with the postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by circular skylights.
Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.

Our latest exhibition features a dazzling display of digital art by three amazing artists. Please be sure to stop into the gallery for this power visual experience and join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 11, to learn more about the digital medium and hear the artists explain how they each use their own unique processes and techniques to create this extraordinary work.
Joanie Landau was born and raised in New York, where her passion for visual art began early. She was initially drawn to collagraphs, an uncommon form of printmaking that captivated her with its rich textures and hands-on process. This fascination eventually evolved into her current body of work: Digital Collagraphs, where photographic imagery merges seamlessly with graphic design techniques. Much like traditional printmaking, her digital process retains a sense of discovery and visual alchemy. Landau studied printmaking at the Silvermine School of Art, earning both the Rembrandt Award for Excellence in Graphic Art and First Prize in Mixed Media. Her studio has been featured in East Coast Home, and her artwork is frequently highlighted in various publications.
Over the past decade, Joanie has exhibited in solo, juried, and group exhibitions across the United States, receiving numerous awards for her innovative work. She is an active member of the Artists Collective of Westport and the Carriage Barn Arts Center, and her work is represented by art consultants and interior designers.
Tina Sommers holds a B.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her photography has been recognized by Abercrombie & Kent, the Delamar Hotel Collection, and Travel + Leisure, among others. She continues to exhibit her work in local galleries, and has shown in coastal Newport and Savannah.
“My creative journey began with the vibrant hues of Crayons and Magic Markers, and the glowing patterns of Lite-Brite,” says Tina. “Guided by a lifelong fascination with color and discovery, I explore the intersection of nature and technology through digital photography and immersive visual experiences.”
Influenced by childhood travels with her parents and the striking photomicrographs from Zeiss calendars shared by her father, Tina’s work fuses the microscopic with the monumental – revealing hidden beauty through a creative and curious lens.
Peter Mendelson is a Connecticut-based fine art photographer with a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. When he moved to New York City, he discovered his passion for photography. Over time, his work evolved into a distinctive visual language, He further refined his artistic vision through workshops with renowned photographers.
In 2023, Peter left his legal career to fully devote himself to fine art photography. His award-winning work has been exhibited in galleries across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. His fine art prints are held in both private and professional collections, and his photography has been featured in a variety of publications spanning art, design, travel, and style.
Peter states, “My photography explores the evolving relationship between humans and their environments, capturing the imprint of culture, time, and transformation in both urban and coastal landscapes… I embrace a sense of the past, drawing attention to the layers of history embedded in everyday places that may evoke personal and collective memories. At the same time, I interlace these subjects with a modern twist and sense of humor, employing bold colors, graphic compositions, and framing materials like aluminum and acrylic to amplify the vibrancy and depth of each image. Through this approach, I strive to create a joyful and visually compelling dialogue that bridges nostalgia with a contemporary perspective.”

“Women, Modernism, and Philip Johnson” brings new attention to the overlooked subject of architect Philip Johnson’s associations with some of the women who embraced and promoted modernism from the 1930s through the 1950s. The early generations of women modernists—especially those who studied at the Cambridge [MA] School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (1916–42) or Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (beginning in 1942 when women were first allowed to enroll)—had ample opportunities for connections with Johnson as he formulated his own concepts of modernism.
His varied roles—co-curator of the “International Style” exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1932 and director of their Architecture Department from 1932-34; graduate student at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, 1940–43; and modernist architect—led to memorable and inspirational meetings. For example, meetings at his “thesis” house of 1942 at 9 Ash Street in Cambridge were considered the “chief attraction” on Friday afternoons for students.

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.
“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.
Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.
In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 15, October 19, 1987–featuring the former home of the Whitney Museum of American Art (1966), designed by Marcel Breuer–resonates with the postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by circular skylights.
Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.

Our latest exhibition features a dazzling display of digital art by three amazing artists. Please be sure to stop into the gallery for this power visual experience and join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 11, to learn more about the digital medium and hear the artists explain how they each use their own unique processes and techniques to create this extraordinary work.
Joanie Landau was born and raised in New York, where her passion for visual art began early. She was initially drawn to collagraphs, an uncommon form of printmaking that captivated her with its rich textures and hands-on process. This fascination eventually evolved into her current body of work: Digital Collagraphs, where photographic imagery merges seamlessly with graphic design techniques. Much like traditional printmaking, her digital process retains a sense of discovery and visual alchemy. Landau studied printmaking at the Silvermine School of Art, earning both the Rembrandt Award for Excellence in Graphic Art and First Prize in Mixed Media. Her studio has been featured in East Coast Home, and her artwork is frequently highlighted in various publications.
Over the past decade, Joanie has exhibited in solo, juried, and group exhibitions across the United States, receiving numerous awards for her innovative work. She is an active member of the Artists Collective of Westport and the Carriage Barn Arts Center, and her work is represented by art consultants and interior designers.
Tina Sommers holds a B.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her photography has been recognized by Abercrombie & Kent, the Delamar Hotel Collection, and Travel + Leisure, among others. She continues to exhibit her work in local galleries, and has shown in coastal Newport and Savannah.
“My creative journey began with the vibrant hues of Crayons and Magic Markers, and the glowing patterns of Lite-Brite,” says Tina. “Guided by a lifelong fascination with color and discovery, I explore the intersection of nature and technology through digital photography and immersive visual experiences.”
Influenced by childhood travels with her parents and the striking photomicrographs from Zeiss calendars shared by her father, Tina’s work fuses the microscopic with the monumental – revealing hidden beauty through a creative and curious lens.
Peter Mendelson is a Connecticut-based fine art photographer with a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. When he moved to New York City, he discovered his passion for photography. Over time, his work evolved into a distinctive visual language, He further refined his artistic vision through workshops with renowned photographers.
In 2023, Peter left his legal career to fully devote himself to fine art photography. His award-winning work has been exhibited in galleries across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. His fine art prints are held in both private and professional collections, and his photography has been featured in a variety of publications spanning art, design, travel, and style.
Peter states, “My photography explores the evolving relationship between humans and their environments, capturing the imprint of culture, time, and transformation in both urban and coastal landscapes… I embrace a sense of the past, drawing attention to the layers of history embedded in everyday places that may evoke personal and collective memories. At the same time, I interlace these subjects with a modern twist and sense of humor, employing bold colors, graphic compositions, and framing materials like aluminum and acrylic to amplify the vibrancy and depth of each image. Through this approach, I strive to create a joyful and visually compelling dialogue that bridges nostalgia with a contemporary perspective.”

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.
“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.
Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.
In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 15, October 19, 1987–featuring the former home of the Whitney Museum of American Art (1966), designed by Marcel Breuer–resonates with the postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by circular skylights.
Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer.

Noli Timere is a soaring aerial dance performance, born from a five-year collaboration between Guggenheim Fellowship Award-winning director and choreographer Rebecca Lazier and world-renowned sculptor Janet Echelman. It features eight multidisciplinary performers dancing up to 25 feet in the air within a voluminous, custom-designed Echelman net sculpture, and is choreographed to an original score by French Canadian composer Jorane, who performs live on stage.
This fusion of contemporary dance, avant-garde circus, and sculpture explores the delicate interconnectedness and fragility of our world, offering a profound commentary on navigating our unstable ecosystem through art and advanced engineering.
Noli Timere – Latin for "be not afraid" – uniquely renders interconnectedness visible and tangible, illustrating how even the smallest change in one element can create a cascading effect throughout a system, like the “Butterfly Effect.” The design incorporates two 40 x 40-foot net sculptures suspended by a sophisticated rigging system on eight corners, which radically transform as performers fly and fall. This seamless interaction between movement and sculpture creates symbiotic relationships where choreography and sculpture continually transform and reshape one another.
This performance runs 60 minutes.

Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC) MainStage, Fairfield County’s award-winning professional theatre company, opens its 39th season with the groundbreaking, Tony Award winning musical, Rent. Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The production runs from September 26th through October 12th with performances on Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm. There will be one Sunday evening performance at 7pm on October 5th.
Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. The physical and emotional complications of HIV/AIDS pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.

Stamford from Pioneer Settlement to Agrarian Town 1640-1840 is opening September 21st from 2-4pm. Executive Director Dr. Zoubek will be discussing the rich history behind this exhibit that explores Stamford from the very beginning! The exhibit will be on view thru July 4th. Free admission for SHC Members. Regular museum hours are Thursday-Saturday 10am-4pm.
Stamford from Pioneer Settlement to Agrarian Town, Stamford History Center’s latest exhibit traces the history of Stamford from its establishment in 1641 until 1820. The latter year Darien hived off Stamford to become a separate town, leaving Stamford with the same borders it has today. The exhibit includes information and artifacts from the indigenous communities from whom the land was purchased. Items from early Colonial life are featured in the hallway that reflect the probate inventory of an early settler killed by a local Siwanoy in 1648.
The exhibit traces the development of local churches, schools and government. Stamford’s role in the Revolutionary War is presented along with a large number of items recovered from excavations at Fort Stamford, built 1781. The exhibit also present short biographies of many of the key players of this earlier era. Items in cases reflect the items that would have served both upper and lower class people during the time. The Bell Bible from the 1640’s will be shown for the first time in many years.

“My Favorite Piece(s)” encourages artists to re-engage with their collections of work and consider what pieces inspire, intrigue and still excite them, whether produced yesterday or ten years ago. The theme promises to ignite an eclectic mix of artwork and evoke a kind of retrospective feeling, not of just one artist, but of many artists. Loft Artists Association curator, Mark Macrides, will jury the exhibit.
As artists, we all have favorite works that we either hang on our walls or protectively hide away. This opportunity is encouraging artists to revisit those pieces and submit them for possible inclusion in an exhibit highlighting the artist’s favorite choice. Let’s come together and celebrate our styles, our mediums and our subjects through our own eyes as artists.

Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC) MainStage, Fairfield County’s award-winning professional theatre company, opens its 39th season with the groundbreaking, Tony Award winning musical, Rent. Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The production runs from September 26th through October 12th with performances on Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm. There will be one Sunday evening performance at 7pm on October 5th.
Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. The physical and emotional complications of HIV/AIDS pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.

Our latest exhibition features a dazzling display of digital art by three amazing artists. Please be sure to stop into the gallery for this power visual experience and join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 11, to learn more about the digital medium and hear the artists explain how they each use their own unique processes and techniques to create this extraordinary work.
Joanie Landau was born and raised in New York, where her passion for visual art began early. She was initially drawn to collagraphs, an uncommon form of printmaking that captivated her with its rich textures and hands-on process. This fascination eventually evolved into her current body of work: Digital Collagraphs, where photographic imagery merges seamlessly with graphic design techniques. Much like traditional printmaking, her digital process retains a sense of discovery and visual alchemy. Landau studied printmaking at the Silvermine School of Art, earning both the Rembrandt Award for Excellence in Graphic Art and First Prize in Mixed Media. Her studio has been featured in East Coast Home, and her artwork is frequently highlighted in various publications.
Over the past decade, Joanie has exhibited in solo, juried, and group exhibitions across the United States, receiving numerous awards for her innovative work. She is an active member of the Artists Collective of Westport and the Carriage Barn Arts Center, and her work is represented by art consultants and interior designers.
Tina Sommers holds a B.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her photography has been recognized by Abercrombie & Kent, the Delamar Hotel Collection, and Travel + Leisure, among others. She continues to exhibit her work in local galleries, and has shown in coastal Newport and Savannah.
“My creative journey began with the vibrant hues of Crayons and Magic Markers, and the glowing patterns of Lite-Brite,” says Tina. “Guided by a lifelong fascination with color and discovery, I explore the intersection of nature and technology through digital photography and immersive visual experiences.”
Influenced by childhood travels with her parents and the striking photomicrographs from Zeiss calendars shared by her father, Tina’s work fuses the microscopic with the monumental – revealing hidden beauty through a creative and curious lens.
Peter Mendelson is a Connecticut-based fine art photographer with a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. When he moved to New York City, he discovered his passion for photography. Over time, his work evolved into a distinctive visual language, He further refined his artistic vision through workshops with renowned photographers.
In 2023, Peter left his legal career to fully devote himself to fine art photography. His award-winning work has been exhibited in galleries across Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. His fine art prints are held in both private and professional collections, and his photography has been featured in a variety of publications spanning art, design, travel, and style.
Peter states, “My photography explores the evolving relationship between humans and their environments, capturing the imprint of culture, time, and transformation in both urban and coastal landscapes… I embrace a sense of the past, drawing attention to the layers of history embedded in everyday places that may evoke personal and collective memories. At the same time, I interlace these subjects with a modern twist and sense of humor, employing bold colors, graphic compositions, and framing materials like aluminum and acrylic to amplify the vibrancy and depth of each image. Through this approach, I strive to create a joyful and visually compelling dialogue that bridges nostalgia with a contemporary perspective.”

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.
“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.
Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.
In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 15, October 19, 1987–featuring the former home of the Whitney Museum of American Art (1966), designed by Marcel Breuer–resonates with the postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by circular skylights.
Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.

Many buildings and structures that we experience daily embody stories of benchmark events, movements and people important in Stamford’s history.

Wes Haynes is a Stamford native and resident who recently retired from a 45 year career as an architectural historian and historic preservation specialist in the tri-state area.

His fine art prints are held in both private and professional collections, and his photography has been featured in a variety of publications spanning art, design, travel, and style.
Peter states, “My photography explores the evolving relationship between humans and their environments, capturing the imprint of culture, time, and transformation in both urban and coastal landscapes… I embrace a sense of the past, drawing attention to the layers of history embedded in everyday places that may evoke personal and collective memories. At the same time, I interlace these subjects with a modern twist and sense of humor, employing bold colors, graphic compositions, and framing materials like aluminum and acrylic to amplify the vibrancy and depth of each image. Through this approach, I strive to create a joyful and visually compelling dialogue that bridges nostalgia with a contemporary perspective.”

Our latest exhibition features a dazzling display of digital art by three amazing artists. Please be sure to stop into the gallery for this power visual experience and join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 11, to learn more about the digital medium and hear the artists explain how they each use their own unique processes and techniques to create this extraordinary work.
Joanie Landau was born and raised in New York, where her passion for visual art began early. She was initially drawn to collagraphs, an uncommon form of printmaking that captivated her with its rich textures and hands-on process. This fascination eventually evolved into her current body of work: Digital Collagraphs, where photographic imagery merges seamlessly with graphic design techniques. Much like traditional printmaking, her digital process retains a sense of discovery and visual alchemy. Landau studied printmaking at the Silvermine School of Art, earning both the Rembrandt Award for Excellence in Graphic Art and First Prize in Mixed Media. Her studio has been featured in East Coast Home, and her artwork is frequently highlighted in various publications.
Over the past decade, Joanie has exhibited in solo, juried, and group exhibitions across the United States, receiving numerous awards for her innovative work. She is an active member of the Artists Collective of Westport and the Carriage Barn Arts Center, and her work is represented by art consultants and interior designers.
Tina Sommers holds a B.F.A. from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her photography has been recognized by Abercrombie & Kent, the Delamar Hotel Collection, and Travel + Leisure, among others. She continues to exhibit her work in local galleries, and has shown in coastal Newport and Savannah.

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.
“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.
Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.
In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 15, October 19, 1987–featuring the former home of the Whitney Museum of American Art (1966), designed by Marcel Breuer–resonates with the postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by circular skylights.
Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.

Stamford from Pioneer Settlement to Agrarian Town 1640-1840 is opening September 21st from 2-4pm. Executive Director Dr. Zoubek will be discussing the rich history behind this exhibit that explores Stamford from the very beginning! The exhibit will be on view thru July 4th. Free admission for SHC Members. Regular museum hours are Thursday-Saturday 10am-4pm.
Stamford from Pioneer Settlement to Agrarian Town, Stamford History Center’s latest exhibit traces the history of Stamford from its establishment in 1641 until 1820. The latter year Darien hived off Stamford to become a separate town, leaving Stamford with the same borders it has today. The exhibit includes information and artifacts from the indigenous communities from whom the land was purchased. Items from early Colonial life are featured in the hallway that reflect the probate inventory of an early settler killed by a local Siwanoy in 1648.
The exhibit traces the development of local churches, schools and government. Stamford’s role in the Revolutionary War is presented along with a large number of items recovered from excavations at Fort Stamford, built 1781. The exhibit also present short biographies of many of the key players of this earlier era. Items in cases reflect the items that would have served both upper and lower class people during the time. The Bell Bible from the 1640’s will be shown for the first time in many years.
