 Week 2 Half Day June 23-27:   Jun   23  -  27th , 2025

With Camp MoCA Instructors

Ages:  4 - 10 |  $ 415

  • Half Day | 9:00-12:30
  • Ages 4 - 10
  • **Campers must be fully potty trained and bathroom independent**

Join us for a week or more at Camp MoCA this summer! Camp MoCA 2025 season begins the week of June 9th and runs through the week of August 25th.  Please note: there is a separate registration pro-rated link for Week 3/July 4th week.

During registration, you will be asked to purchase a Camp MoCA t-shirt for your camper. You only need to purchase 1 t-shirt for the season.

  • All campers must purchase a 2025 Camp MoCA CT t-shirt.
  • T-shirts will be distributed to your camper on their first day at camp.

Camp MoCA offers weekly art activities, hands-on agricultural lessons, and daily indoor and outdoor fun. Camp MoCA CT is led by certified art educators & CPR/First Aid-certified camp counselors. We are a fully-accredited youth camp held indoors in our spacious, air-conditioned classrooms and outdoors (weather permitting).

  • Tuition is refundable (except for administration fees) up to 48 hours after registration
  • 50% of tuition refundable until May 31st
  • Tuition is non-refundable on or after June 1st

On a typical day, campers will move through art lessons, immersive exhibition time, a science lesson in our working garden, time to play outside, and time to relax with calm, structured activities. We have specific plans to diversify instruction to meet the developmental needs of our campers, and we have special activities on some days when they have water play, ice cream, and dance parties, along with an informal camper talent show. On Fridays we have special programming where students get to exhibit their work in our galleries to their parents!

We have a maximum of 24 campers – 2-3 instructors and 2-4 counselors on-site, along with a Camp Director. Campers bring with them nut-free snacks, lunch, and a water bottle.

Camp MoCA CT is the perfect opportunity for parents to give their children a summer experience they will never forget. Our camp is fully accredited, so parents can rest assured that their children are in good hands. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all campers.

Sending your child to Camp MoCA CT is an investment in their future, providing them with a unique opportunity to explore their creativity, embrace their individuality, and develop a growth mindset. With a focus on agricultural lessons and featured artists, hands-on projects, and celebrating each camper's unique perspective, Camp MoCA CT offers a transformative experience that empowers campers to see themselves as members of a larger community.

At Camp MoCA, we believe that art is not just about creating beautiful objects; it's about fostering creativity, self-expression, and growth. Our agricultural lessons, for example, teach campers about the interconnectedness of our environment and the importance of taking care of the world around us. By engaging in hands-on projects in our working garden, campers learn about the importance of sustainable living and the power of collaboration. They learn that their actions impact the world around them and that they can make a difference in their community.

At Camp MoCA, we celebrate each camper's unique perspective and encourage them to embrace individuality. Providing a supportive and inclusive environment empowers campers to express themselves freely and explore their creativity without fear of judgment. Campers develop a growth mindset through this process that allows them to see failure as an opportunity to learn and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.

We believe all children should have access to creative expression, community building, and hands-on learning experiences, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are committed to providing opportunities for all children to attend Camp MoCA CT and participate in our unique and enriching programming. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages a growth mindset, empowering children to see themselves as valuable community members. We believe that investing in a child's artistic education is an investment in their future, and we are dedicated to making this investment accessible to all.

Throughout the summer, our campers will participate in character-building activities that foster trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, citizenship, kindness, empathy, resilience, patience, perseverance, and open-mindedness. They will also engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as creating recycled art and designing a better future for their communities.

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 SitesCollisions, 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 1, June 10, 1986–featuring the Philip Johnson-designed Lipstick Building (1986) in Manhattan–resonates with the ’80s 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 the circular skylights above.

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.

The Painting Gallery (1965) features three works: a photograph from the Collision series and two sculptural Progressions. Situated near Stella’s shaped canvases, Kasten’s fluorescent forms extend the narrative around post-painterly abstraction across mediums and into the present moment.

Da Monsta (1995), the last building Johnson designed at The Glass House, was named following a conversation between Johnson and the critic Herbert Muschamp. It was inspired in part by German Expressionism, an unrealized museum design by Frank Stella, and the work of Frank Gehry. Kasten’s Sideways Corner (2016/2025), a video projection of three-dimensional cubes in primary colors, activates the warped and torqued walls.

The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers, Curator at The Glass House.

Special thanks to Bortolami Gallery, New York.

This spring and summer, historic buildings in downtown Greenwich will become canvases for large-scale murals featuring archival images of what those places looked like in the past, with text and images drawn from the Greenwich Historical Society’ s collections and include interactive QR codes, that when scanned, share those unique stories.

The murals, designed by Untapped New York ’s artist Aaron Asis , are in conjunction with a new series of guided walking tours exploring the history of Greenwich Avenue and its local businesses led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s chief experience officer and Christopher Shields, Historical Society director of Library and Archives.

The Two Way Street exhibition by Greenwich Historical Society and Untapped New York at the Greenwich Arts Council is a companion to Rediscover Greenwich Avenue. This collaborative exhibition uses large-scale art site specific installations made from historic materials to explore how the Avenue’s identity has evolved and how it continues to serve as a hub of commerce and creativity in Greenwich.

Open Arts Alliance is thrilled to announce their Summerstage season with programs for students in grades 1-12 beginning June 23, 2025.

Budding performers and "veteran actors" alike are encouraged to make new friends and deepen their skills through production-based learning. This summer’s programming will offer a variety of classes and workshops, for students in 1st through 12th grade, and will introduce students to musicals in a condensed time frame with each 2-week session culminating in a full production. There’s something for everyone no matter their experience level-while maintaining an emphasis on student's personal growth. “We love summer at OAA,” says Program Director Cindy Busani. “It’s amazing what our students can do in two weeks. To watch a shy child blossom as they experience the stage for the first time or to see a returning student’s confidence grow because they were given the opportunity to shine on stage, these are the things that make everyone happy.”This summer Open Arts Alliance will present The Jungle Book KIDS and Regards to Broadway for students in grades 1 - 7 and Legally Blonde the Musical for students in grades 8 - 12. In addition, younger students can take part in a week-long Musical Theatre Dance Workshop specifically designed to teach fundamentals, while adding elements of storytelling, in the classic Broadway style.

To register for classes and take part in these exciting opportunities, or learn more about this 501c3 non-profit organization and it's work in the community, please visit www.openartsalliance.com

An interactive public art installation created by Greenwich Historical Society's interactive exhibition partner Untapped New York's artist-in-residence Aaron Asis, reframes these historic views. Exhibition available in conjunction with guided tours led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s chief experience officer, who will challenge us all to consider the highway not as an obstruction, but as an evolving element of the town’s historical tapestry.

Around the campus of the Greenwich Historical Society you will find three golden frames, each creating a perspective to highlight I-95 in one direction and a view back towards the historic campus in the other. Go out and find all three frames and frame I-95 for yourself! When you locate them, think like an artist (if you aren’t one already). How could you make the presence of I-95 into something worthy of being called art?

Hidden on the balcony of the Bush Holley house you will find a fourth golden frame, sharing a unique and stunning vantage point of I-95. It was the same vantage point that artist, Elmer MacRae had from his studio and one which served as an inspiration for him when painting. This frame is only accessible to the public by guided tours of the Bush-Holley House.

Inside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find a temporary exhibition showcasing a selection of impressionist paintings created by the Cos Cob Art Colony artists that incorporate the immediate landscape around the Bush-Holley House. Look down and you’ll see the same selection manipulated by artist Aaron Asis to show how they might have looked if I-95 existed in the early 20th century. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Just outside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find activities that invite you to create your own visions for Re-Framing 95. First, peek through the fifth golden frame mounted on the Historical Society Glass for some inspiration. Then create your own golden frame and/or framed image of I-95. Consider what it means when you put a frame around something? We also invite you to show us what you see through that frame. You can also consider the role I-95 plays in your own history. Become a part of the collection and share your creation with GHS Staff!

 Week 2 Half Day June 23-27:   Jun   23  -  27th , 2025

With Camp MoCA Instructors

Ages:  4 - 10 |  $ 415

  • Half Day | 9:00-12:30
  • Ages 4 - 10
  • **Campers must be fully potty trained and bathroom independent**

Join us for a week or more at Camp MoCA this summer! Camp MoCA 2025 season begins the week of June 9th and runs through the week of August 25th.  Please note: there is a separate registration pro-rated link for Week 3/July 4th week.

During registration, you will be asked to purchase a Camp MoCA t-shirt for your camper. You only need to purchase 1 t-shirt for the season.

  • All campers must purchase a 2025 Camp MoCA CT t-shirt.
  • T-shirts will be distributed to your camper on their first day at camp.

Camp MoCA offers weekly art activities, hands-on agricultural lessons, and daily indoor and outdoor fun. Camp MoCA CT is led by certified art educators & CPR/First Aid-certified camp counselors. We are a fully-accredited youth camp held indoors in our spacious, air-conditioned classrooms and outdoors (weather permitting).

  • Tuition is refundable (except for administration fees) up to 48 hours after registration
  • 50% of tuition refundable until May 31st
  • Tuition is non-refundable on or after June 1st

On a typical day, campers will move through art lessons, immersive exhibition time, a science lesson in our working garden, time to play outside, and time to relax with calm, structured activities. We have specific plans to diversify instruction to meet the developmental needs of our campers, and we have special activities on some days when they have water play, ice cream, and dance parties, along with an informal camper talent show. On Fridays we have special programming where students get to exhibit their work in our galleries to their parents!

We have a maximum of 24 campers – 2-3 instructors and 2-4 counselors on-site, along with a Camp Director. Campers bring with them nut-free snacks, lunch, and a water bottle.

Camp MoCA CT is the perfect opportunity for parents to give their children a summer experience they will never forget. Our camp is fully accredited, so parents can rest assured that their children are in good hands. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all campers.

Sending your child to Camp MoCA CT is an investment in their future, providing them with a unique opportunity to explore their creativity, embrace their individuality, and develop a growth mindset. With a focus on agricultural lessons and featured artists, hands-on projects, and celebrating each camper's unique perspective, Camp MoCA CT offers a transformative experience that empowers campers to see themselves as members of a larger community.

At Camp MoCA, we believe that art is not just about creating beautiful objects; it's about fostering creativity, self-expression, and growth. Our agricultural lessons, for example, teach campers about the interconnectedness of our environment and the importance of taking care of the world around us. By engaging in hands-on projects in our working garden, campers learn about the importance of sustainable living and the power of collaboration. They learn that their actions impact the world around them and that they can make a difference in their community.

At Camp MoCA, we celebrate each camper's unique perspective and encourage them to embrace individuality. Providing a supportive and inclusive environment empowers campers to express themselves freely and explore their creativity without fear of judgment. Campers develop a growth mindset through this process that allows them to see failure as an opportunity to learn and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.

We believe all children should have access to creative expression, community building, and hands-on learning experiences, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are committed to providing opportunities for all children to attend Camp MoCA CT and participate in our unique and enriching programming. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages a growth mindset, empowering children to see themselves as valuable community members. We believe that investing in a child's artistic education is an investment in their future, and we are dedicated to making this investment accessible to all.

Throughout the summer, our campers will participate in character-building activities that foster trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, citizenship, kindness, empathy, resilience, patience, perseverance, and open-mindedness. They will also engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as creating recycled art and designing a better future for their communities.

Open Arts Alliance is thrilled to announce their Summerstage season with programs for students in grades 1-12 beginning June 23, 2025.

Budding performers and "veteran actors" alike are encouraged to make new friends and deepen their skills through production-based learning. This summer’s programming will offer a variety of classes and workshops, for students in 1st through 12th grade, and will introduce students to musicals in a condensed time frame with each 2-week session culminating in a full production. There’s something for everyone no matter their experience level-while maintaining an emphasis on student's personal growth. “We love summer at OAA,” says Program Director Cindy Busani. “It’s amazing what our students can do in two weeks. To watch a shy child blossom as they experience the stage for the first time or to see a returning student’s confidence grow because they were given the opportunity to shine on stage, these are the things that make everyone happy.”This summer Open Arts Alliance will present The Jungle Book KIDS and Regards to Broadway for students in grades 1 - 7 and Legally Blonde the Musical for students in grades 8 - 12. In addition, younger students can take part in a week-long Musical Theatre Dance Workshop specifically designed to teach fundamentals, while adding elements of storytelling, in the classic Broadway style.

To register for classes and take part in these exciting opportunities, or learn more about this 501c3 non-profit organization and it's work in the community, please visit www.openartsalliance.com

Our upcoming On View feature highlighting original abstract paintings by artist Beth Munro on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery will open Friday, June 13, 2025. On opening day, an Artist Meet & Greet and Opening Reception will be held from 4:00 - 6:00pm. Visitors will have the opportunity to view work by Beth, meet with her and learn about her process, and enjoy wine and other light refreshments. 

"My paintings whether composed of still life, landscape, or abstract forms, focus on pattern, color and texture," Munroe says of her work. "I am inspired by everything from the impressionistic works of Cezanne, to the gestural abstract paintings of deKooning, to historical quilts made by the women of Gees Bend. Ethnic ceremonial costumes, 19th and 20th century stencils and even my daughters' illustrations continue to inspire me. I grew up in an artistic family, in which my father, a designer and painter, played a significant role in my artistic development. Matisse, Cezanne, Vuillard, Thiebaud and Janet Fish have all been dominant sources of inspiration, and as my work has become more abstract, I have been significantly influenced by Diebenkorn, Rothko and Klee.

"I focus primarily on movement, color and the texture of the paint in my practice, I’m always looking for new ways to create form. While my work has become increasingly abstract in recent years, the focus on color and pattern as a central component has remained a constant. The same black and white checks that once lined the edges of dishes in a still life now define abstract shapes, creating vertical compositions of tree-like figures. My pallet is unique to my work and acts as a common thread as the subject matter (or lack there of) evolves. The interaction of color, pattern, texture and form creates a harmonious rhythm, keeping the eye constantly moving throughout the composition. I continue expanding my exploration of color and texture, incorporating tissue paper, collage, woodblock prints, and various forms of mixed media in my work. I hope my work conveys a mood, delights the eye, and captures the whimsical nature of life."

Beth's paintings will be on view through Saturday, July 5th.

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

An interactive public art installation created by Greenwich Historical Society's interactive exhibition partner Untapped New York's artist-in-residence Aaron Asis, reframes these historic views. Exhibition available in conjunction with guided tours led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s chief experience officer, who will challenge us all to consider the highway not as an obstruction, but as an evolving element of the town’s historical tapestry.

Around the campus of the Greenwich Historical Society you will find three golden frames, each creating a perspective to highlight I-95 in one direction and a view back towards the historic campus in the other. Go out and find all three frames and frame I-95 for yourself! When you locate them, think like an artist (if you aren’t one already). How could you make the presence of I-95 into something worthy of being called art?

Hidden on the balcony of the Bush Holley house you will find a fourth golden frame, sharing a unique and stunning vantage point of I-95. It was the same vantage point that artist, Elmer MacRae had from his studio and one which served as an inspiration for him when painting. This frame is only accessible to the public by guided tours of the Bush-Holley House.

Inside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find a temporary exhibition showcasing a selection of impressionist paintings created by the Cos Cob Art Colony artists that incorporate the immediate landscape around the Bush-Holley House. Look down and you’ll see the same selection manipulated by artist Aaron Asis to show how they might have looked if I-95 existed in the early 20th century. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Just outside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find activities that invite you to create your own visions for Re-Framing 95. First, peek through the fifth golden frame mounted on the Historical Society Glass for some inspiration. Then create your own golden frame and/or framed image of I-95. Consider what it means when you put a frame around something? We also invite you to show us what you see through that frame. You can also consider the role I-95 plays in your own history. Become a part of the collection and share your creation with GHS Staff!

 Week 2 Half Day June 23-27:   Jun   23  -  27th , 2025

With Camp MoCA Instructors

Ages:  4 - 10 |  $ 415

  • Half Day | 9:00-12:30
  • Ages 4 - 10
  • **Campers must be fully potty trained and bathroom independent**

Join us for a week or more at Camp MoCA this summer! Camp MoCA 2025 season begins the week of June 9th and runs through the week of August 25th.  Please note: there is a separate registration pro-rated link for Week 3/July 4th week.

During registration, you will be asked to purchase a Camp MoCA t-shirt for your camper. You only need to purchase 1 t-shirt for the season.

  • All campers must purchase a 2025 Camp MoCA CT t-shirt.
  • T-shirts will be distributed to your camper on their first day at camp.

Camp MoCA offers weekly art activities, hands-on agricultural lessons, and daily indoor and outdoor fun. Camp MoCA CT is led by certified art educators & CPR/First Aid-certified camp counselors. We are a fully-accredited youth camp held indoors in our spacious, air-conditioned classrooms and outdoors (weather permitting).

  • Tuition is refundable (except for administration fees) up to 48 hours after registration
  • 50% of tuition refundable until May 31st
  • Tuition is non-refundable on or after June 1st

On a typical day, campers will move through art lessons, immersive exhibition time, a science lesson in our working garden, time to play outside, and time to relax with calm, structured activities. We have specific plans to diversify instruction to meet the developmental needs of our campers, and we have special activities on some days when they have water play, ice cream, and dance parties, along with an informal camper talent show. On Fridays we have special programming where students get to exhibit their work in our galleries to their parents!

We have a maximum of 24 campers – 2-3 instructors and 2-4 counselors on-site, along with a Camp Director. Campers bring with them nut-free snacks, lunch, and a water bottle.

Camp MoCA CT is the perfect opportunity for parents to give their children a summer experience they will never forget. Our camp is fully accredited, so parents can rest assured that their children are in good hands. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all campers.

Sending your child to Camp MoCA CT is an investment in their future, providing them with a unique opportunity to explore their creativity, embrace their individuality, and develop a growth mindset. With a focus on agricultural lessons and featured artists, hands-on projects, and celebrating each camper's unique perspective, Camp MoCA CT offers a transformative experience that empowers campers to see themselves as members of a larger community.

At Camp MoCA, we believe that art is not just about creating beautiful objects; it's about fostering creativity, self-expression, and growth. Our agricultural lessons, for example, teach campers about the interconnectedness of our environment and the importance of taking care of the world around us. By engaging in hands-on projects in our working garden, campers learn about the importance of sustainable living and the power of collaboration. They learn that their actions impact the world around them and that they can make a difference in their community.

At Camp MoCA, we celebrate each camper's unique perspective and encourage them to embrace individuality. Providing a supportive and inclusive environment empowers campers to express themselves freely and explore their creativity without fear of judgment. Campers develop a growth mindset through this process that allows them to see failure as an opportunity to learn and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.

We believe all children should have access to creative expression, community building, and hands-on learning experiences, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are committed to providing opportunities for all children to attend Camp MoCA CT and participate in our unique and enriching programming. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages a growth mindset, empowering children to see themselves as valuable community members. We believe that investing in a child's artistic education is an investment in their future, and we are dedicated to making this investment accessible to all.

Throughout the summer, our campers will participate in character-building activities that foster trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, citizenship, kindness, empathy, resilience, patience, perseverance, and open-mindedness. They will also engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as creating recycled art and designing a better future for their communities.

Open Arts Alliance is thrilled to announce their Summerstage season with programs for students in grades 1-12 beginning June 23, 2025.

Budding performers and "veteran actors" alike are encouraged to make new friends and deepen their skills through production-based learning. This summer’s programming will offer a variety of classes and workshops, for students in 1st through 12th grade, and will introduce students to musicals in a condensed time frame with each 2-week session culminating in a full production. There’s something for everyone no matter their experience level-while maintaining an emphasis on student's personal growth. “We love summer at OAA,” says Program Director Cindy Busani. “It’s amazing what our students can do in two weeks. To watch a shy child blossom as they experience the stage for the first time or to see a returning student’s confidence grow because they were given the opportunity to shine on stage, these are the things that make everyone happy.”This summer Open Arts Alliance will present The Jungle Book KIDS and Regards to Broadway for students in grades 1 - 7 and Legally Blonde the Musical for students in grades 8 - 12. In addition, younger students can take part in a week-long Musical Theatre Dance Workshop specifically designed to teach fundamentals, while adding elements of storytelling, in the classic Broadway style.

To register for classes and take part in these exciting opportunities, or learn more about this 501c3 non-profit organization and it's work in the community, please visit www.openartsalliance.com

Our upcoming On View feature highlighting original abstract paintings by artist Beth Munro on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery will open Friday, June 13, 2025. On opening day, an Artist Meet & Greet and Opening Reception will be held from 4:00 - 6:00pm. Visitors will have the opportunity to view work by Beth, meet with her and learn about her process, and enjoy wine and other light refreshments. 

"My paintings whether composed of still life, landscape, or abstract forms, focus on pattern, color and texture," Munroe says of her work. "I am inspired by everything from the impressionistic works of Cezanne, to the gestural abstract paintings of deKooning, to historical quilts made by the women of Gees Bend. Ethnic ceremonial costumes, 19th and 20th century stencils and even my daughters' illustrations continue to inspire me. I grew up in an artistic family, in which my father, a designer and painter, played a significant role in my artistic development. Matisse, Cezanne, Vuillard, Thiebaud and Janet Fish have all been dominant sources of inspiration, and as my work has become more abstract, I have been significantly influenced by Diebenkorn, Rothko and Klee.

"I focus primarily on movement, color and the texture of the paint in my practice, I’m always looking for new ways to create form. While my work has become increasingly abstract in recent years, the focus on color and pattern as a central component has remained a constant. The same black and white checks that once lined the edges of dishes in a still life now define abstract shapes, creating vertical compositions of tree-like figures. My pallet is unique to my work and acts as a common thread as the subject matter (or lack there of) evolves. The interaction of color, pattern, texture and form creates a harmonious rhythm, keeping the eye constantly moving throughout the composition. I continue expanding my exploration of color and texture, incorporating tissue paper, collage, woodblock prints, and various forms of mixed media in my work. I hope my work conveys a mood, delights the eye, and captures the whimsical nature of life."

Beth's paintings will be on view through Saturday, July 5th.

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

An interactive public art installation created by Greenwich Historical Society's interactive exhibition partner Untapped New York's artist-in-residence Aaron Asis, reframes these historic views. Exhibition available in conjunction with guided tours led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s chief experience officer, who will challenge us all to consider the highway not as an obstruction, but as an evolving element of the town’s historical tapestry.

Around the campus of the Greenwich Historical Society you will find three golden frames, each creating a perspective to highlight I-95 in one direction and a view back towards the historic campus in the other. Go out and find all three frames and frame I-95 for yourself! When you locate them, think like an artist (if you aren’t one already). How could you make the presence of I-95 into something worthy of being called art?

Hidden on the balcony of the Bush Holley house you will find a fourth golden frame, sharing a unique and stunning vantage point of I-95. It was the same vantage point that artist, Elmer MacRae had from his studio and one which served as an inspiration for him when painting. This frame is only accessible to the public by guided tours of the Bush-Holley House.

Inside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find a temporary exhibition showcasing a selection of impressionist paintings created by the Cos Cob Art Colony artists that incorporate the immediate landscape around the Bush-Holley House. Look down and you’ll see the same selection manipulated by artist Aaron Asis to show how they might have looked if I-95 existed in the early 20th century. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Just outside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find activities that invite you to create your own visions for Re-Framing 95. First, peek through the fifth golden frame mounted on the Historical Society Glass for some inspiration. Then create your own golden frame and/or framed image of I-95. Consider what it means when you put a frame around something? We also invite you to show us what you see through that frame. You can also consider the role I-95 plays in your own history. Become a part of the collection and share your creation with GHS Staff!

 Week 2 Full Day: Jun 23 - 27th, 2025

With Camp MoCA Instructors

  • Full Day | 9:00-3:00 | $650
  • Ages 4 - 10
  • **Campers must be fully potty trained and bathroom independent**

Join us for a week or more at Camp MoCA this summer! Camp MoCA 2025 season begins the week of June 16th and runs through the week of August 22th.  Please note - there is a separate registration pro-rated link for Week 3/July 4th week

During registration, you will be asked to purchase a Camp MoCA t-shirt for your camper. You only need to purchase 1 t-shirt for the season.

  • All campers must purchase a 2025 Camp MoCA CT t-shirt.
  • T-shirts will be distributed to your camper on their first day at camp.

Camp MoCA offers weekly art activities, hands-on agricultural lessons, and daily indoor and outdoor fun. Camp MoCA CT is led by certified art educators & CPR/First Aid-certified camp counselors. We are a fully-accredited youth camp held indoors in our spacious, air-conditioned classrooms and outdoors (weather permitting).

  • Tuition is refundable (except for administration fees) up to 48 hours after registration
  • 50% of tuition refundable until May 31st
  • Tuition is non-refundable on or after June 1st

On a typical day, campers will move through art lessons, immersive exhibition time, a science lesson in our working garden, time to play outside, and time to relax with calm, structured activities. We have specific plans to diversify instruction to meet the developmental needs of our campers, and we have special activities on some days when they have water play, ice cream, and dance parties, along with an informal camper talent show. On Fridays we have special programming where students get to exhibit their work in our galleries to their parents!

We have a maximum of 24 campers – 2-3 instructors and 2-4 counselors on-site, along with a Camp Director. Campers bring with them nut-free snacks, lunch, and a water bottle.

Camp MoCA CT is the perfect opportunity for parents to give their children a summer experience they will never forget. Our camp is fully accredited, so parents can rest assured that their children are in good hands. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all campers.

At Camp MoCA, we believe that art is not just about creating beautiful objects; it's about fostering creativity, self-expression, and growth. Our agricultural lessons, for example, teach campers about the interconnectedness of our environment and the importance of taking care of the world around us. By engaging in hands-on projects in our working garden, campers learn about the importance of sustainable living and the power of collaboration. They learn that their actions impact the world around them and that they can make a difference in their community.

At Camp MoCA, we celebrate each camper's unique perspective and encourage them to embrace individuality. Providing a supportive and inclusive environment empowers campers to express themselves freely and explore their creativity without fear of judgment. Campers develop a growth mindset through this process that allows them to see failure as an opportunity to learn and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.

We believe all children should have access to creative expression, community building, and hands-on learning experiences, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are committed to providing opportunities for all children to attend Camp MoCA CT and participate in our unique and enriching programming. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages a growth mindset, empowering children to see themselves as valuable community members. We believe that investing in a child's artistic education is an investment in their future, and we are dedicated to making this investment accessible to all.

Camp MoCA CT is thrilled to provide a unique and engaging summer camp experience for young artists. By exploring diverse art styles and renowned artists, our campers will delve into themes of self-expression, family, community, sustainability, and cultural diversity. We aim to foster a love of art and creativity while helping our young artists develop character-building traits.

Throughout the summer, our campers will participate in character-building activities that foster trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, citizenship, kindness, empathy, resilience, patience, perseverance, and open-mindedness. They will also engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as creating recycled art and designing a better future for their communities.

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 SitesCollisions, 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 1, June 10, 1986–featuring the Philip Johnson-designed Lipstick Building (1986) in Manhattan–resonates with the ’80s 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 the circular skylights above.

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.

The Painting Gallery (1965) features three works: a photograph from the Collision series and two sculptural Progressions. Situated near Stella’s shaped canvases, Kasten’s fluorescent forms extend the narrative around post-painterly abstraction across mediums and into the present moment.

Da Monsta (1995), the last building Johnson designed at The Glass House, was named following a conversation between Johnson and the critic Herbert Muschamp. It was inspired in part by German Expressionism, an unrealized museum design by Frank Stella, and the work of Frank Gehry. Kasten’s Sideways Corner (2016/2025), a video projection of three-dimensional cubes in primary colors, activates the warped and torqued walls.

The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers, Curator at The Glass House.

Special thanks to Bortolami Gallery, New York.

This spring and summer, historic buildings in downtown Greenwich will become canvases for large-scale murals featuring archival images of what those places looked like in the past, with text and images drawn from the Greenwich Historical Society’ s collections and include interactive QR codes, that when scanned, share those unique stories.

The murals, designed by Untapped New York ’s artist Aaron Asis , are in conjunction with a new series of guided walking tours exploring the history of Greenwich Avenue and its local businesses led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s chief experience officer and Christopher Shields, Historical Society director of Library and Archives.

The Two Way Street exhibition by Greenwich Historical Society and Untapped New York at the Greenwich Arts Council is a companion to Rediscover Greenwich Avenue. This collaborative exhibition uses large-scale art site specific installations made from historic materials to explore how the Avenue’s identity has evolved and how it continues to serve as a hub of commerce and creativity in Greenwich.

Open Arts Alliance is thrilled to announce their Summerstage season with programs for students in grades 1-12 beginning June 23, 2025.

Budding performers and "veteran actors" alike are encouraged to make new friends and deepen their skills through production-based learning. This summer’s programming will offer a variety of classes and workshops, for students in 1st through 12th grade, and will introduce students to musicals in a condensed time frame with each 2-week session culminating in a full production. There’s something for everyone no matter their experience level-while maintaining an emphasis on student's personal growth. “We love summer at OAA,” says Program Director Cindy Busani. “It’s amazing what our students can do in two weeks. To watch a shy child blossom as they experience the stage for the first time or to see a returning student’s confidence grow because they were given the opportunity to shine on stage, these are the things that make everyone happy.”This summer Open Arts Alliance will present The Jungle Book KIDS and Regards to Broadway for students in grades 1 - 7 and Legally Blonde the Musical for students in grades 8 - 12. In addition, younger students can take part in a week-long Musical Theatre Dance Workshop specifically designed to teach fundamentals, while adding elements of storytelling, in the classic Broadway style.

To register for classes and take part in these exciting opportunities, or learn more about this 501c3 non-profit organization and it's work in the community, please visit www.openartsalliance.com

Our upcoming On View feature highlighting original abstract paintings by artist Beth Munro on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery will open Friday, June 13, 2025. On opening day, an Artist Meet & Greet and Opening Reception will be held from 4:00 - 6:00pm. Visitors will have the opportunity to view work by Beth, meet with her and learn about her process, and enjoy wine and other light refreshments. 

"My paintings whether composed of still life, landscape, or abstract forms, focus on pattern, color and texture," Munroe says of her work. "I am inspired by everything from the impressionistic works of Cezanne, to the gestural abstract paintings of deKooning, to historical quilts made by the women of Gees Bend. Ethnic ceremonial costumes, 19th and 20th century stencils and even my daughters' illustrations continue to inspire me. I grew up in an artistic family, in which my father, a designer and painter, played a significant role in my artistic development. Matisse, Cezanne, Vuillard, Thiebaud and Janet Fish have all been dominant sources of inspiration, and as my work has become more abstract, I have been significantly influenced by Diebenkorn, Rothko and Klee.

"I focus primarily on movement, color and the texture of the paint in my practice, I’m always looking for new ways to create form. While my work has become increasingly abstract in recent years, the focus on color and pattern as a central component has remained a constant. The same black and white checks that once lined the edges of dishes in a still life now define abstract shapes, creating vertical compositions of tree-like figures. My pallet is unique to my work and acts as a common thread as the subject matter (or lack there of) evolves. The interaction of color, pattern, texture and form creates a harmonious rhythm, keeping the eye constantly moving throughout the composition. I continue expanding my exploration of color and texture, incorporating tissue paper, collage, woodblock prints, and various forms of mixed media in my work. I hope my work conveys a mood, delights the eye, and captures the whimsical nature of life."

Beth's paintings will be on view through Saturday, July 5th.

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

An interactive public art installation created by Greenwich Historical Society's interactive exhibition partner Untapped New York's artist-in-residence Aaron Asis, reframes these historic views. Exhibition available in conjunction with guided tours led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s chief experience officer, who will challenge us all to consider the highway not as an obstruction, but as an evolving element of the town’s historical tapestry.

Around the campus of the Greenwich Historical Society you will find three golden frames, each creating a perspective to highlight I-95 in one direction and a view back towards the historic campus in the other. Go out and find all three frames and frame I-95 for yourself! When you locate them, think like an artist (if you aren’t one already). How could you make the presence of I-95 into something worthy of being called art?

Hidden on the balcony of the Bush Holley house you will find a fourth golden frame, sharing a unique and stunning vantage point of I-95. It was the same vantage point that artist, Elmer MacRae had from his studio and one which served as an inspiration for him when painting. This frame is only accessible to the public by guided tours of the Bush-Holley House.

Inside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find a temporary exhibition showcasing a selection of impressionist paintings created by the Cos Cob Art Colony artists that incorporate the immediate landscape around the Bush-Holley House. Look down and you’ll see the same selection manipulated by artist Aaron Asis to show how they might have looked if I-95 existed in the early 20th century. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Just outside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find activities that invite you to create your own visions for Re-Framing 95. First, peek through the fifth golden frame mounted on the Historical Society Glass for some inspiration. Then create your own golden frame and/or framed image of I-95. Consider what it means when you put a frame around something? We also invite you to show us what you see through that frame. You can also consider the role I-95 plays in your own history. Become a part of the collection and share your creation with GHS Staff!

June 26 – October 12, 2025

Opening Reception, Thursday June 26, 6–8pm. RSVP

MoCA CT will be presenting a major photography exhibition, Tod Papageorge: At the Beach, alongside works by Papageorge’s former graduate students, In the Pool. The companion exhibitions were organized by the photographer Lisa Kereszi, and showcase the work of Tod Papageorge (b. 1940), a Connecticut-based, internationally-acclaimed artist and teacher whose contributions to American street photography in the 1960s helped shape the genre. His work is held in more than thirty prominent public collections, including the Museums of Modern Art in New York and San Francisco.

At the Beach, making its East Coast debut at MoCA CT, will feature work in the form of large-scale black and white photographs that Papageorge produced with medium-format cameras during several trips to the beaches of Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s. As he has written about this project: “I think that part of what these pictures are about is the difference between our preconceptions of a place and what, when we get there, that place turns out to be. To describe a subject and, at the same time, reinvent it, is a double intention on the part of the photographer that we should be used to by now when we look at photographs. With these pictures, I worked with the belief that the closer I came to describing the literal nature of the place and people I was photographing, the more surprising the pictures might be, all while transforming the casual, unselfconscious physicality of these beachgoers into resonant form and meaning.”

The title of the adjacent exhibition, In the Pool, refers to the nickname for the classroom Papageorge taught in for the last third of his teaching career, a renovated swimming pool within the School of Art building. As a professor and the Director of Graduate Studies in Photography at the Yale School of Art from 1979-2013, Papageorge mentored many future influential photographers and art educators, with 39 of his students going on to receive Guggenheim Fellowships, a significant marker of achievement in the art and photography world. This part of the exhibition commemorates that fact by exhibiting a single print from each of those Guggenheim Fellows, as well as presenting work through a looping slide show of virtually all 295 of Papageorge’s former MFA students. It’s also worth noting that the work composing In the Pool was made while the photographers were students in the Yale program, years before being selected (by each one of them) for a portfolio created in honor of Papageorge’s retirement as director of the program. These nearly 300 pictures, then, serve to offer some insight into the nature of influence and mentorship in the arts, and to suggest the power of the ongoing moment that is the still-developing history of photography.

Ages:  4 - 10 |  $ 415

  • Half Day | 9:00-12:30
  • Ages 4 - 10
  • **Campers must be fully potty trained and bathroom independent**

Join us for a week or more at Camp MoCA this summer! Camp MoCA 2025 season begins the week of June 9th and runs through the week of August 25th.  Please note: there is a separate registration pro-rated link for Week 3/July 4th week.

During registration, you will be asked to purchase a Camp MoCA t-shirt for your camper. You only need to purchase 1 t-shirt for the season.

  • All campers must purchase a 2025 Camp MoCA CT t-shirt.
  • T-shirts will be distributed to your camper on their first day at camp.

Camp MoCA offers weekly art activities, hands-on agricultural lessons, and daily indoor and outdoor fun. Camp MoCA CT is led by certified art educators & CPR/First Aid-certified camp counselors. We are a fully-accredited youth camp held indoors in our spacious, air-conditioned classrooms and outdoors (weather permitting).

  • Tuition is refundable (except for administration fees) up to 48 hours after registration
  • 50% of tuition refundable until May 31st
  • Tuition is non-refundable on or after June 1st

On a typical day, campers will move through art lessons, immersive exhibition time, a science lesson in our working garden, time to play outside, and time to relax with calm, structured activities. We have specific plans to diversify instruction to meet the developmental needs of our campers, and we have special activities on some days when they have water play, ice cream, and dance parties, along with an informal camper talent show. On Fridays we have special programming where students get to exhibit their work in our galleries to their parents!

We have a maximum of 24 campers – 2-3 instructors and 2-4 counselors on-site, along with a Camp Director. Campers bring with them nut-free snacks, lunch, and a water bottle.

Camp MoCA CT is the perfect opportunity for parents to give their children a summer experience they will never forget. Our camp is fully accredited, so parents can rest assured that their children are in good hands. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all campers.

Sending your child to Camp MoCA CT is an investment in their future, providing them with a unique opportunity to explore their creativity, embrace their individuality, and develop a growth mindset. With a focus on agricultural lessons and featured artists, hands-on projects, and celebrating each camper's unique perspective, Camp MoCA CT offers a transformative experience that empowers campers to see themselves as members of a larger community.

At Camp MoCA, we believe that art is not just about creating beautiful objects; it's about fostering creativity, self-expression, and growth. Our agricultural lessons, for example, teach campers about the interconnectedness of our environment and the importance of taking care of the world around us. By engaging in hands-on projects in our working garden, campers learn about the importance of sustainable living and the power of collaboration. They learn that their actions impact the world around them and that they can make a difference in their community.

At Camp MoCA, we celebrate each camper's unique perspective and encourage them to embrace individuality. Providing a supportive and inclusive environment empowers campers to express themselves freely and explore their creativity without fear of judgment. Campers develop a growth mindset through this process that allows them to see failure as an opportunity to learn and embrace new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.

We believe all children should have access to creative expression, community building, and hands-on learning experiences, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. We are committed to providing opportunities for all children to attend Camp MoCA CT and participate in our unique and enriching programming. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages a growth mindset, empowering children to see themselves as valuable community members. We believe that investing in a child's artistic education is an investment in their future, and we are dedicated to making this investment accessible to all.

Throughout the summer, our campers will participate in character-building activities that foster trustworthiness, responsibility, respect, fairness, citizenship, kindness, empathy, resilience, patience, perseverance, and open-mindedness. They will also engage in hands-on activities that promote sustainability and eco-friendliness, such as creating recycled art and designing a better future for their communities.

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 SitesCollisions, 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 1, June 10, 1986–featuring the Philip Johnson-designed Lipstick Building (1986) in Manhattan–resonates with the ’80s 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 the circular skylights above.

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.

The Painting Gallery (1965) features three works: a photograph from the Collision series and two sculptural Progressions. Situated near Stella’s shaped canvases, Kasten’s fluorescent forms extend the narrative around post-painterly abstraction across mediums and into the present moment.

Da Monsta (1995), the last building Johnson designed at The Glass House, was named following a conversation between Johnson and the critic Herbert Muschamp. It was inspired in part by German Expressionism, an unrealized museum design by Frank Stella, and the work of Frank Gehry. Kasten’s Sideways Corner (2016/2025), a video projection of three-dimensional cubes in primary colors, activates the warped and torqued walls.

The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers, Curator at The Glass House.

Special thanks to Bortolami Gallery, New York.

Open Arts Alliance is thrilled to announce their Summerstage season with programs for students in grades 1-12 beginning June 23, 2025.

Budding performers and "veteran actors" alike are encouraged to make new friends and deepen their skills through production-based learning. This summer’s programming will offer a variety of classes and workshops, for students in 1st through 12th grade, and will introduce students to musicals in a condensed time frame with each 2-week session culminating in a full production. There’s something for everyone no matter their experience level-while maintaining an emphasis on student's personal growth. “We love summer at OAA,” says Program Director Cindy Busani. “It’s amazing what our students can do in two weeks. To watch a shy child blossom as they experience the stage for the first time or to see a returning student’s confidence grow because they were given the opportunity to shine on stage, these are the things that make everyone happy.”This summer Open Arts Alliance will present The Jungle Book KIDS and Regards to Broadway for students in grades 1 - 7 and Legally Blonde the Musical for students in grades 8 - 12. In addition, younger students can take part in a week-long Musical Theatre Dance Workshop specifically designed to teach fundamentals, while adding elements of storytelling, in the classic Broadway style.

To register for classes and take part in these exciting opportunities, or learn more about this 501c3 non-profit organization and it's work in the community, please visit www.openartsalliance.com

Our upcoming On View feature highlighting original abstract paintings by artist Beth Munro on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery will open Friday, June 13, 2025. On opening day, an Artist Meet & Greet and Opening Reception will be held from 4:00 - 6:00pm. Visitors will have the opportunity to view work by Beth, meet with her and learn about her process, and enjoy wine and other light refreshments. 

"My paintings whether composed of still life, landscape, or abstract forms, focus on pattern, color and texture," Munroe says of her work. "I am inspired by everything from the impressionistic works of Cezanne, to the gestural abstract paintings of deKooning, to historical quilts made by the women of Gees Bend. Ethnic ceremonial costumes, 19th and 20th century stencils and even my daughters' illustrations continue to inspire me. I grew up in an artistic family, in which my father, a designer and painter, played a significant role in my artistic development. Matisse, Cezanne, Vuillard, Thiebaud and Janet Fish have all been dominant sources of inspiration, and as my work has become more abstract, I have been significantly influenced by Diebenkorn, Rothko and Klee.

"I focus primarily on movement, color and the texture of the paint in my practice, I’m always looking for new ways to create form. While my work has become increasingly abstract in recent years, the focus on color and pattern as a central component has remained a constant. The same black and white checks that once lined the edges of dishes in a still life now define abstract shapes, creating vertical compositions of tree-like figures. My pallet is unique to my work and acts as a common thread as the subject matter (or lack there of) evolves. The interaction of color, pattern, texture and form creates a harmonious rhythm, keeping the eye constantly moving throughout the composition. I continue expanding my exploration of color and texture, incorporating tissue paper, collage, woodblock prints, and various forms of mixed media in my work. I hope my work conveys a mood, delights the eye, and captures the whimsical nature of life."

Beth's paintings will be on view through Saturday, July 5th.

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

An interactive public art installation created by Greenwich Historical Society's interactive exhibition partner Untapped New York's artist-in-residence Aaron Asis, reframes these historic views. Exhibition available in conjunction with guided tours led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s chief experience officer, who will challenge us all to consider the highway not as an obstruction, but as an evolving element of the town’s historical tapestry.

Around the campus of the Greenwich Historical Society you will find three golden frames, each creating a perspective to highlight I-95 in one direction and a view back towards the historic campus in the other. Go out and find all three frames and frame I-95 for yourself! When you locate them, think like an artist (if you aren’t one already). How could you make the presence of I-95 into something worthy of being called art?

Hidden on the balcony of the Bush Holley house you will find a fourth golden frame, sharing a unique and stunning vantage point of I-95. It was the same vantage point that artist, Elmer MacRae had from his studio and one which served as an inspiration for him when painting. This frame is only accessible to the public by guided tours of the Bush-Holley House.

Inside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find a temporary exhibition showcasing a selection of impressionist paintings created by the Cos Cob Art Colony artists that incorporate the immediate landscape around the Bush-Holley House. Look down and you’ll see the same selection manipulated by artist Aaron Asis to show how they might have looked if I-95 existed in the early 20th century. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Just outside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find activities that invite you to create your own visions for Re-Framing 95. First, peek through the fifth golden frame mounted on the Historical Society Glass for some inspiration. Then create your own golden frame and/or framed image of I-95. Consider what it means when you put a frame around something? We also invite you to show us what you see through that frame. You can also consider the role I-95 plays in your own history. Become a part of the collection and share your creation with GHS Staff!
