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

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

One of the most charming performers ever returns to the Quick Center stage. Guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli has been hailed by the Boston Globe for “reinvigorating the Great American Songbook and re-popularizing jazz.” He has expanded that repertoire by including the music of Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and The Beatles.
Pizzarelli leaves audiences spellbound with his triple-threat combo of honey-smooth vocals, wry wit, and jaw-dropping guitar prowess, all while backed by a band of exceptional jazz artists.
John Pizzarelli has dedicated many of his albums to the great songwriters and performers who have helped to establish the Great American Songbook and the pop music canon: Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Richard Rodgers, and Duke Ellington, to name a few. With his latest album – Stage & Screen – Pizzarelli explores immortal songs of the past century, classics from Broadway musicals and Hollywood films.

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

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

“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.

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.”

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

When, in 1933, Lincoln Kirstein recruited choreographer George Balanchine to move to America to lead the faculty of his fledgling School of American Ballet, it was not based in New York City. It was in Hartford. The studio relocated to Manhattan the next year and remains the official school of the New York City Ballet.
Dancer and choreographer Emily Coates’ new performance project sources Balanchine's brief history in Connecticut to reflect on how the body and spirit of a choreographer scatters, living on in unexpected places. She draws upon her background as a former member of New York City Ballet, and working with Ain Gordon (direction and dramaturgy), Derek Lucci (performer), Charles Burnham (musician-composer), and Melvin Chen (pianist), Coates and her collaborators collage misplaced and overlooked archival traces and transmissions of Balanchine and related artists into a new whole.
In this intimate performance experience, the audience will be seated on stage with the artists.
Emily Carson Coates has danced with New York City Ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project, Twyla Tharp Dance, and Yvonne Rainer. She teaches at Yale University, where she has directed the dance studies concentration since its inception in 2006.
Scheduled to premiere at Works & Process at the Guggenheim in fall 2025, The Scattering, or the light (working title) is commissioned by Works & Process. The iterative development has included a Works & Process LaunchPAD residency at The Church (2025) in Sag Harbor, home to George Balanchine’s grave. The project will continue to be supported with a Works & Process LaunchPAD residency at the Catskill Mountain Foundation in Hunter, New York. Additional developmental support is provided by the Quick Center for the Arts at Fairfield University, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, and New England Foundation for the Arts Dance Fund. The Scattering was created in part during a residency at the Pillow Lab at Jacob’s Pillow, with additional support from the O’Donnell-Green Music and Dance Foundation.

Where the stage meets the motel—experience Hitchcock’s Psycho at the Playhouse! Hosted by Playhouse artistic director Mark Shanahan
Psycho (1960), directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is a landmark psychological horror film that redefined the genre. The story follows Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), who embezzles money and seeks refuge at the secluded Bates Motel, run by the enigmatic Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). What begins as a suspenseful encounter soon spirals into a chilling tale of deception and madness, culminating in one of the most iconic scenes in cinematic history.
The evening will be hosted by Playhouse artistic director Mark Shanahan.
A dedicated Hitchcock scholar and fan, Playhouse artistic director Mark Shanahan taught a course on Hitchcock at Fordham University for over 21 years on Monday nights when the theatre was dark. He is always eager to share his love for the movies of this most celebrated director.
The evening will include Shanahan’s brief introductory remarks, highlighting key details to watch for, followed by a post-screening discussion.
Whether you’re a first time viewer or long time Hitchcock aficionado, this night promises to dive into just some of the wonderful anecdotes, storytelling techniques and signature cinematic details that make Alfred Hitchcock the Master of Suspense!

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.

"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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

"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

WITCH by Jen Silverman
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.”
