Shake off the winter blahs with the upcoming exhibition, Abstraction, loaded with splashes of life-affirming color. Opening reception is Sunday, April 8 (4-6pm) at the Rowayton Arts Center. This free form style of swirling shapes and bold lines completely breaks away from traditional art. The exhibition judge is Artist and LOVE ART Gallery Owner Cabell Molina. The exhibition chair is Heide Follin and co-chair is Melissa Orme. The exhibition features art in any media, on any theme. The winner of Best in Show will be awarded the Hu Lindsay Memorial Award ($250). Hu Lindsay, an artist and past president of the Rowayton Arts Center was a longtime resident of Norwalk.
