Wilson Avenue Loft Artists Present “Surfaces & Spaces” Exhibition
The Wilson Avenue Loft Artists (WALA) will present “Surfaces & Spaces,” a curated collection by Betsy Jesup, an art advisor for over 30 years and owner of the Handwright Gallery in New Canaan. The exhibition will take place during the annual Open Studios Weekend on October 25 and October 26 from 11 am to 4 pm with 15 artists participating in the event. There is an opening reception planned for Friday, October 24 from 6 to 8 pm.
Every year, the artists make a contribution based on the proceeds from their Open Studios event to the Norwalk creative community, in order to foster art education. This year the group will present a scholarship to one graduating senior student from Brian McMahon High School and another from Norwalk High School who are accepted into a fine arts program at the university level to assist them in their endeavors. Donations will also be accepted during the open studios period by patrons who wish to contribute to this worthy cause.
WALA is a gallery and workspace which strives to nurture and enrich relationships between individual artists and the community. Since 2007, this community of artists have found a creative home in a renovated industrial building located at 225 Wilson Avenue in South Norwalk with plenty of parking available.
