The annual community art exhibition for the Kershner Gallery in the Fairfield Public Library is now on view through February 1. This exhibit features over 60 pieces of original art created by area artists in all mediums, sizes, and styles. The gallery is open during all library hours.
Community Art Exhibition
Curated by 2024-25 Korry Fellow Juanita Sunday and featuring regional artists Carl Bocicault, Tyler Goldchain, Imo Nse Imeh, Iyaba Ibo Mandigo, Tea Montgomery, Saint Phifer, Andre Rochester, Bizzie Ruth, Dario Tejada, Kamar Thomas, and Yves Wilson.
MASC explores the intricate intersections of masculinity and Blackness, illuminating the complex layers of identity, expression, and societal expectation.
The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.
MASC: Unmasking Identity, Redefining Masculinity
The Gallery at GFC welcomes Connecticut artist Marguerite Alpert, whose art is on display from December 12, 2014 to February 10, 2025.

Her designs run the gamut from quiet and peaceful to bold and energizing, every one a delightful arrangement of natural elements in patterns and shapes nature itself could only admire.
Please join us for a reception and demonstration on January 15, 2025 from 6-8 PM.

"Through a Different Set of Eyes" Art Exhibition
The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Camera-less, featuring the work of Joanne Dugan, Amanda Marchand, Anne Arden McDonald and Liz Nielsen. The exhibition will introduce the public to four of the most innovative practitioners of camera-less photography working today. These artists challenge traditional expectations of photographic representation with experimental, process-driven works that push boundaries both technical and conceptual.
What is camera-less photography?
It might seem a contradiction in terms but actually, the very first photographic images were created without a camera. In this practice, images are captured on photo-sensitive paper without the use of a lens. Light, chemicals and a light-sensitive surface are its fundamental ingredients. Removing the camera means that light and chemicals interact directly without the intermediary of a camera or a negative.
The technique of making photographic images without a camera dates back to the early 18oos, at the dawn of photography. Rediscovered by the Surrealists in the 1920s, camera-less or direct photography is seeing a resurgence today, with a growing number of contemporary artists pushing the possibilities of this medium far beyond where their predecessors left off. This exhibition highlights the work of four groundbreaking artists who create powerful and highly original images by casting shadows and filtering light on photographic paper, or by chemically manipulating its surface. The striking works on display, ranging from figurative to abstract, represent the leading edge of what is possible in this emerging field.
Joanne Dugan is interested in the visual act as a dynamic, cognitive process that connects people through shared viewing experiences. Her one-of-a-kind images begin with cyanotype or silver gelatin photograms and light paintings, which are hand cut and collaged. Dugan is informed by Buddhist principles and meditation and interested in the physical qualities of photography as a medium.
Amanda Marchand works with lumen printing in which black & white photo papers are exposed to the sun to reveal latent color. Her images relate to the passage of time, the natural world and our changing climate. She utilizes books as mark makers, referencing endangered species and the practice of art.
Anne Arden McDonald employs an unorthodox collection of materials and methods from the domestic and scientific realms to create her chemigrams. Her highly experimental techniques involve altering the surface of silver gelatin paper and applying materials such as glue, bleach, broken glass, developer and fixer to produce images inspired by atoms and planets, exploring the microcosm and macrocosm of our experience.
Liz Nielsen has been systematically exploring the possibilities of camera-less photography, making vividly colored photograms in the color darkroom. Her large-scale compositions straddle the border between abstraction and figuration, recalling simple natural forms such as landscapes, arches or groupings of smoothly curved stones. She calls them “Light Paintings,” evoking the performative nature of their creation.
Caren Winnall is the curator for Camera-less. The exhibit runs through March 5, 2025.

Please join Wilton Library for an Author Talk program with Samantha Greene Woodruff, who will speak about her latest novel The Trade Off. Inspired by the true story of a pioneering investment legend, The Trade Off is a powerful novel about identity, sacrifice, family loyalties, and the complex morality of money. In this historical novel, a brilliant and ambitious young woman strives to find her place amid the promise and tumult of 1920s Wall Street.
Bea Abramovitz has a gift for math and numbers. With her father, she studies the burgeoning Wall Street market's stocks and patterns in the financial pages. After college she's determined to parlay her talent for the prediction game into personal and professional success. But in the 1920s, in a Lower East Side tenement, opportunities for women don't just come knocking. Bea will have to create them.
It's easier for her golden-boy twin brother, Jake, who longs to reclaim all their parents lost after fleeing the pogroms in Russia to come to America. Well intentioned but undisciplined, Jake has a charm that can carry him only so far on Wall Street. So Bea devises a plan. They'll be a secret team, and she'll be the brains behind the broker. As Jake's reputation, his heedless ego, and the family fortune soar, Bea foresees catastrophe: an impending crash that could destroy everything if she doesn't finally take control.
Samantha Greene Woodruff is the author of two #1 Amazon bestselling historical fiction novels, The Lobotomist’s Wife(2002) and The Trade Off (2024). Sam has a BA in history from Wesleyan University and an MBA from the NYU Stern School of Business. She spent fifteen years at Viacom’s Nickelodeon before leaving to parent her two young children. After studying in the continuing education program at the Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College, Woodruff completed her first novel, The Lobotomist’s Wife, which was an Amazon First Reads pick. Her writing has appeared in Newsweek, Writer’s Digest, Female First, Read 650 and more. In addition, she has contributed an essay entitled “Jew-ish” about her lifelong conflicted relationship with Judaism, to the anthology, On Being Jewish Now (2024) edited by Zibby Owens. All proceeds from the book will go to Artists Against Antisemitism, a non-profit founded in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks in Israel. Woodruff lives in southern Connecticut with her husband, two children, two dogs and a small reptile zoo.

We will be painting from still life subject matter as well as landscapes. You will also be learning how to set up a full palette and how to create a strong compositional design. Students will learn to see and express color, values and the illusion of depth as they take their own photos as a point of inspiration to create their own interpretation rather than a copy. Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, as well as individual instruction. If you are new to the class, please bring a drawing or painting as a sample of your skill level to the first class.

"Through a Different Set of Eyes" Art Exhibition
The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Camera-less, featuring the work of Joanne Dugan, Amanda Marchand, Anne Arden McDonald and Liz Nielsen. The exhibition will introduce the public to four of the most innovative practitioners of camera-less photography working today. These artists challenge traditional expectations of photographic representation with experimental, process-driven works that push boundaries both technical and conceptual.
What is camera-less photography?
It might seem a contradiction in terms but actually, the very first photographic images were created without a camera. In this practice, images are captured on photo-sensitive paper without the use of a lens. Light, chemicals and a light-sensitive surface are its fundamental ingredients. Removing the camera means that light and chemicals interact directly without the intermediary of a camera or a negative.
The technique of making photographic images without a camera dates back to the early 18oos, at the dawn of photography. Rediscovered by the Surrealists in the 1920s, camera-less or direct photography is seeing a resurgence today, with a growing number of contemporary artists pushing the possibilities of this medium far beyond where their predecessors left off. This exhibition highlights the work of four groundbreaking artists who create powerful and highly original images by casting shadows and filtering light on photographic paper, or by chemically manipulating its surface. The striking works on display, ranging from figurative to abstract, represent the leading edge of what is possible in this emerging field.
Joanne Dugan is interested in the visual act as a dynamic, cognitive process that connects people through shared viewing experiences. Her one-of-a-kind images begin with cyanotype or silver gelatin photograms and light paintings, which are hand cut and collaged. Dugan is informed by Buddhist principles and meditation and interested in the physical qualities of photography as a medium.
Amanda Marchand works with lumen printing in which black & white photo papers are exposed to the sun to reveal latent color. Her images relate to the passage of time, the natural world and our changing climate. She utilizes books as mark makers, referencing endangered species and the practice of art.
Anne Arden McDonald employs an unorthodox collection of materials and methods from the domestic and scientific realms to create her chemigrams. Her highly experimental techniques involve altering the surface of silver gelatin paper and applying materials such as glue, bleach, broken glass, developer and fixer to produce images inspired by atoms and planets, exploring the microcosm and macrocosm of our experience.
Liz Nielsen has been systematically exploring the possibilities of camera-less photography, making vividly colored photograms in the color darkroom. Her large-scale compositions straddle the border between abstraction and figuration, recalling simple natural forms such as landscapes, arches or groupings of smoothly curved stones. She calls them “Light Paintings,” evoking the performative nature of their creation.
Caren Winnall is the curator for Camera-less. The exhibit runs through March 5, 2025.

Following the film screening, on- and off-Broadway producer, Cheryl Wiesenfeld, will be joined on stage with actors and the creator of RTA for a conversation with Brent Buell, and Patrick Brooks Associate Professor Visual and Performing Arts at Fairfield University, and hopefully one of the gifted actors from the film.
Theater that Changes Our World has always showcased plays that teach us a lesson, open us up to other narratives, and connect us to ourselves and our greater world. Theater has the power to transform!
This year we show the transformative power of theater through a film, not a play. This film is based on a prison theater program called Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA).
It was started in 1996 after a small group of men in prison expressed an interest in putting on a play at the prison. Along with Katherine Vockins, the founder of RTA, the program was formed. That year, they wrote and staged their first play. The play marked the beginning of Rehabilitation Through the Arts, which is now active in eight prisons throughout New York, including men and women’s prisons with maximum and medium security.
Theater, as we’ve shown audiences over 10 years at The Quick, does have the power to change our world. Over the years of our program, we’ve focused on social justice and incarceration in such plays as CELL, GUN COUNTRY, SHARED SENTENCES and SURVIVING TROUBLED WATERS: FROM PRISON TO FREEDOM THROUGH MUSIC.
The program of Rehabilitation Through the Arts does just that: It teaches incarcerated people how to restore their lives through theater which, in stark contrast to the current system of criminal punishment, is based on respect and human dignity.
Brent Buell is a playwright, director and producer. For ten years he volunteered with RTA directing theater in New York’s maximum-security prisons with plays ranging from John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” to original work by the prisoners.
One of Brent’s plays, a comedy, “Breakin’ the Mummy’s Code” premiered at Sing Sing, and became the inspiration for A24’s film “Sing Sing” directed by Greg Kwedar and starring Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo and Clarence Maclin. Buell is portrayed in the film by Oscar-nominated Paul Raci. The film is out now and has been short listed on many “best of” lists.
The film beautifully captures the visceral sense of seeing these men reluctantly join the cast of the play, and yielding to it, becoming part of the journey and life of the play, and through it becoming transformed.
So, in my 10th year as part of “Theatre that Changes Our World” program, I feel this film grasps and portrays what we do perfectly.
Sing Sing
Curated by 2024-25 Korry Fellow Juanita Sunday and featuring regional artists Carl Bocicault, Tyler Goldchain, Imo Nse Imeh, Iyaba Ibo Mandigo, Tea Montgomery, Saint Phifer, Andre Rochester, Bizzie Ruth, Dario Tejada, Kamar Thomas, and Yves Wilson.
MASC explores the intricate intersections of masculinity and Blackness, illuminating the complex layers of identity, expression, and societal expectation.
The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.

The striking works on display, ranging from figurative to abstract, represent the leading edge of what is possible in this emerging field.
Joanne Dugan is interested in the visual act as a dynamic, cognitive process that connects people through shared viewing experiences. Her one-of-a-kind images begin with cyanotype or silver gelatin photograms and light paintings, which are hand cut and collaged. Dugan is informed by Buddhist principles and meditation and interested in the physical qualities of photography as a medium.
Amanda Marchand works with lumen printing in which black & white photo papers are exposed to the sun to reveal latent color. Her images relate to the passage of time, the natural world and our changing climate. She utilizes books as mark makers, referencing endangered species and the practice of art.
Anne Arden McDonald employs an unorthodox collection of materials and methods from the domestic and scientific realms to create her chemigrams. Her highly experimental techniques involve altering the surface of silver gelatin paper and applying materials such as glue, bleach, broken glass, developer and fixer to produce images inspired by atoms and planets, exploring the microcosm and macrocosm of our experience.
Liz Nielsen has been systematically exploring the possibilities of camera-less photography, making vividly colored photograms in the color darkroom. Her large-scale compositions straddle the border between abstraction and figuration, recalling simple natural forms such as landscapes, arches or groupings of smoothly curved stones. She calls them “Light Paintings,” evoking the performative nature of their creation.
Caren Winnall is the curator for Camera-less. The exhibit runs through March 5, 2025.

Curated by 2024-25 Korry Fellow Juanita Sunday and featuring regional artists Carl Bocicault, Tyler Goldchain, Imo Nse Imeh, Iyaba Ibo Mandigo, Tea Montgomery, Saint Phifer, Andre Rochester, Bizzie Ruth, Dario Tejada, Kamar Thomas, and Yves Wilson.
MASC explores the intricate intersections of masculinity and Blackness, illuminating the complex layers of identity, expression, and societal expectation.
The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.
MASC: Unmasking Identity, Redefining Masculinity
The Gallery at GFC welcomes Connecticut artist Marguerite Alpert, whose art is on display from December 12, 2014 to February 10, 2025. Working with dried plant material, Ms. Alpert creates framed pieces that are more than collages, photographs or paintings, yet contain elements of each of those mediums. Her designs run the gamut from quiet and peaceful to bold and energizing, every one a delightful arrangement of natural elements in patterns and shapes nature itself could only admire.
Please join us for a reception and demonstration on January 15, 2025 from 6-8 PM.

The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Camera-less, featuring the work of Joanne Dugan, Amanda Marchand, Anne Arden McDonald and Liz Nielsen. The exhibition will introduce the public to four of the most innovative practitioners of camera-less photography working today. These artists challenge traditional expectations of photographic representation with experimental, process-driven works that push boundaries both technical and conceptual.
What is camera-less photography?
It might seem a contradiction in terms but actually, the very first photographic images were created without a camera. In this practice, images are captured on photo-sensitive paper without the use of a lens. Light, chemicals and a light-sensitive surface are its fundamental ingredients. Removing the camera means that light and chemicals interact directly without the intermediary of a camera or a negative.
The technique of making photographic images without a camera dates back to the early 18oos, at the dawn of photography. Rediscovered by the Surrealists in the 1920s, camera-less or direct photography is seeing a resurgence today, with a growing number of contemporary artists pushing the possibilities of this medium far beyond where their predecessors left off. This exhibition highlights the work of four groundbreaking artists who create powerful and highly original images by casting shadows and filtering light on photographic paper, or by chemically manipulating its surface.

BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE ACRYLIC LANDSCAPE PAINTING
8 TUESDAYS
Jan. 7 – Feb. 25
10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Program Description
New students will discover the fundamentals needed to capture form, shading, composition, and study values with the three primary colors. We will be painting from still life subject matter as well as landscapes. You will also be learning how to set up a full palette and how to create a strong compositional design. Students will learn to see and express color, values and the illusion of depth as they take their own photos as a point of inspiration to create their own interpretation rather than a copy. Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, as well as individual instruction. If you are new to the class, please bring a drawing or painting as a sample of your skill level to the first class.

Anne Arden McDonald employs an unorthodox collection of materials and methods from the domestic and scientific realms to create her chemigrams. Her highly experimental techniques involve altering the surface of silver gelatin paper and applying materials such as glue, bleach, broken glass, developer and fixer to produce images inspired by atoms and planets, exploring the microcosm and macrocosm of our experience.
Liz Nielsen has been systematically exploring the possibilities of camera-less photography, making vividly colored photograms in the color darkroom. Her large-scale compositions straddle the border between abstraction and figuration, recalling simple natural forms such as landscapes, arches or groupings of smoothly curved stones. She calls them “Light Paintings,” evoking the performative nature of their creation.
Caren Winnall is the curator for Camera-less. The exhibit runs through March 5, 2025.

“The Lost Van Gogh: Nazi Looting, Interpol Agents, Art Sleuths on a Mission”
Fans of “behind-the-scenes stories” won’t want to miss Jonathan Santlofer’s discussion of art history and historical fiction. An author and visual artist, Santlofer’s books include the memoir The Widower’s Notebook, an international bestseller which has been translated into 22 languages; The Death Artist; Anatomy of Fear, which won the Nero Award for best crime novel of 2009; The Last Mona Lisa; and his newest novel, The Lost Van Gogh, a thrilling story of masterpieces, masterminds, and mystery.
Joyce Carol Oates described The Lost Van Gogh as “ingeniously plotted, irresistibly readable.”
Santlofer will escort us through his epic art-puzzle narrative and into the “high stakes world of theft, forgery, and murder.”
Presented with the Art History Department, the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, and the Fairfield University Art Museum
Open VISIONS Forum: Espresso - Jonathan Santlofer
Curated by 2024-25 Korry Fellow Juanita Sunday and featuring regional artists Carl Bocicault, Tyler Goldchain, Imo Nse Imeh, Iyaba Ibo Mandigo, Tea Montgomery, Saint Phifer, Andre Rochester, Bizzie Ruth, Dario Tejada, Kamar Thomas, and Yves Wilson.
MASC explores the intricate intersections of masculinity and Blackness, illuminating the complex layers of identity, expression, and societal expectation.
The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.

A Garden in the Winter
The Gallery at GFC welcomes Connecticut artist Marguerite Alpert, whose art is on display from December 12, 2014 to February 10, 2025. Working with dried plant material, Ms. Alpert creates framed pieces that are more than collages, photographs or paintings, yet contain elements of each of those mediums. Her designs run the gamut from quiet and peaceful to bold and energizing, every one a delightful arrangement of natural elements in patterns and shapes nature itself could only admire.
Please join us for a reception and demonstration on January 15, 2025 from 6-8 PM.
