Lost Lear is a moving and darkly comic remix of Shakespeare’s play told from the point of view of Joy, an elderly person with dementia. Joy is living in an old memory from her 30s, when she was rehearsing the title role in an avant-garde production of King Lear. Joy’s delicately maintained reality is upended by the arrival of her estranged son who, being cast as Cordelia, must find a way to speak his piece from within the limited role he’s given.
Described as “brilliantly conceived and executed” (Irish Examiner), Lost Lear is the creation of Irish theatre and filmmaker Dan Colley. Inspired by visiting his grandmother when she lived in a care home for people with dementia, Colley uses puppetry, projection, and live video effects to create Joy’s world, where layers of her past and present, fiction and reality, overlap and distort.
This remarkable play is a thought-provoking meditation on theater, artifice, and the possibility of communicating across the chasms between us.
This production runs 80 minutes.

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.

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.

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.

A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a "witch" and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her - and then returns again - unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. An inventive re-telling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.

WITCH by Jen Silverman
Award-winning Pantochino Productions Inc. presents a hilarious and unhinged new musical by Bert Bernardi & Justin Rugg. “What Now Voyager” parodies the Hollywood romance melodramatic movies of the 1940’s as it follows the transformation of a young woman and the surprises she discovers on the high seas—romance, intrigue and all kinds of comical mayhem. Recommended for adult audiences, and performed cabaret-style where audiences are invited to bring their own food and drink to enjoy during the show.

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.

October 25th Concert in a Landmark, Westport Saturday, 4:00 pm at the newly restored UU Church, Westport, CT.
The Glass House invites you to the second annual Concert in a Landmark — an immersive evening of contemporary music set within one of our region’s architectural treasures. This fall, we gather for a performance by renowned pianist Matthew Aucoin and tenor Paul Appleby of AMOC* (American Modern Opera Company) in the remarkable sanctuary of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Westport, Connecticut, a 1965 masterwork by architect Victor Lundy (1923–2024). Appleby and Aucoin will perform works by John Adams, Aucoin, Bejamin Britten, and Franz Schubert.
Nestled in the woods, this soaring modernist structure—celebrated for its sweeping roofline, luminous walls of glass, and reverent connection to the natural landscape—offers a transcendent setting for live performance. Known for his expressive and sculptural approach to architecture, Lundy trained under Walter Gropius at Harvard and helped define the Sarasota School of Architecture, bringing lyrical innovation to mid-century design.
The building is currently being restored sensitively by Goody Clancy Architects and is set to fully reopen in Fall 2025. Join us for this rare opportunity to experience music in a space where architecture and acoustics come together in perfect harmony.
Matthew Aucoin is an American composer, conductor, writer, pianist, and a 2018 MacArthur Fellow. In recent seasons, his music has been performed by artists ranging from Yo-Yo Ma to the Philadelphia Orchestra, and commissioned by institutions including the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, and the Ojai Music Festival. He is a co-founder of the American Modern Opera Company.
Paul Appleby is one of the most sought-after voices of his generation. He graces the stages of the world’s most distinguished concert halls and opera houses and collaborates with leading orchestras, instrumentalists, and conductors. He is a founding core member of the American Modern Opera Company.
American Modern Opera Company (AMOC*) is a groundbreaking collective of instrumentalists, vocalists, composers, dancers, writers, directors, and choreographers. Founded in 2017 by Aucoin and Zack Winokur, AMOC* artists pool their resources to create new pathways that connect creators and audiences in surprising and visceral ways. The group has focused on thoughtful, interdisciplinary projects that range from evening-length stagings of song cycles to newly produced choreographies of instrumental music. In 2025, AMOC* made its Lincoln Center debut, featuring more than 100 artists in 10 New York premieres across 12 productions, all commissioned and produced by AMOC* with its artists and partners.
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport is a diverse and welcoming religious community, free of creed and dogma, and open to people of all backgrounds and beliefs. They inspire and support individual spiritual growth; connect through worship, music, learning, and caring ministries; and act in the service of peace and justice.
Glass House Presents is an ongoing series of talks, performances, and other live events that extend the site’s historic role as a gathering place for artists, architects, and other creative minds.

Wilson Avenue Loft Artists Present “Surfaces & Spaces” Exhibition
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
“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.
My Favorite Piece(s) - 12th Annual Juried Exhibition

A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a "witch" and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her - and then returns again - unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. An inventive re-telling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by.
REVIEWS
"Jen Silverman's exceedingly smart new comedy casts an intoxicating spell." - CHICAGO SUN TIMES
"A dark tale of devilish temptation and sharp wit, WITCH is a treasure and one of the best shows I’ve seen all year." - AROUND THE TOWN CHICAGO (Julia W. Rath)
"The play immediately engages in the very first three scenes." - THE FOURTH WALSH
"Although this play features a castle, an accused witch, and the devil, Silverman has managed a miracle: she has written a play that neatly, poignantly and humorously captures the quandary at the hearts of many in our contemporary world: at what point do you lose all hope?" - CHICAGO REVIEWS
PG13
WITCH by Jen Silverman
Award-winning Pantochino Productions Inc. presents a hilarious and unhinged new musical by Bert Bernardi & Justin Rugg. “What Now Voyager” parodies the Hollywood romance melodramatic movies of the 1940’s as it follows the transformation of a young woman and the surprises she discovers on the high seas—romance, intrigue and all kinds of comical mayhem. Recommended for adult audiences, and performed cabaret-style where audiences are invited to bring their own food and drink to enjoy during the show.
What Now Voyage, A New 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.

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.”

Rayuela, a Spanish word for the children’s game of hopscotch, is the title of a new dance work created by flamenco sensation Marco Flores. The piece is inspired by Argentine writer Julio Cortázar’s stream-of-consciousness novel of the same name, a celebrated “antinovel” that can be read out of sequence and is noted for its multiple endings. The protagonist of the novel is always searching for elusive answers.
A winner of the National Flamenco Award in his home country of Spain, Flores celebrates the first 20 years of his career in this piece that is a metaphor for his life. One of the top male flamenco dancers of his generation, he is known as a fiery performer with impeccable technique, who incorporates elements of contemporary and tap dance to expand the possibilities of what flamenco can be. Flores is joined by two renowned musicians: singer Alfredo Tejada and guitarist José Tomás Jiménez. Francisco López is the director and dramaturge.

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.

After the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, a trip from coast-to-coast that used to take months was shortened to just under a week, allowing for the transport of goods and ideas across the continent in ways previously inconceivable. Profit-seeking corporations and the American government financed it, but the people who actually built it and who were most affected by it are the focus of this program of music – Indigenous and African Americans as well as Irish, Chinese, Japanese, and other immigrant laborers whose contributions have been largely erased from history. Silkroad’s American Railroad seeks to right these past wrongs by highlighting untold stories and amplifying unheard voices from these communities, painting a more accurate picture of the global diasporic origin of the American empire.
The American Railroad tour program includes commissioned pieces by jazz artist Cécile McLorin Salvant and film composer Michael Abels, as well as Silkroad artist and renowned pipa player Wu Man and Silkroad artist Layale Chaker. It also includes re-envisioned arrangements of folk songs by Silkroad artistic director, Rhiannon Giddens, and fellow Silkroad artists Haruka Fujii and Maeve Gilchrist.
Funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.

This is a true showcase, not a competition, and all student art will be exhibited at the Carriage Barn Arts Center in New Canaan with an opening reception to be held on November 16th.
