A new show by exhibiting members at the Rowayton Arts Center (RAC), “Community Sponsored Awards” will be on view July 5 through August 2, 2020. The exhibition has an open theme in all media representing the artists’ best work of the year.
RAC will resume normal summer gallery hours on Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm, then Tuesday through Friday from 12 pm to 5 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm. The judge, Robbin Zella, is Director and Curator at the Housatonic Museum of Art in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
According to Andrea Letters, RAC Executive Director, “The response we got from our members for this show was overwhelming – it’s the first in the gallery since the shutdown in March. We are excited to have 96 submissions to share with the community.”
RAC celebrates the study, creation and appreciation of the arts through classes, exhibitions and events open to all in the community. For almost 60 years, this nonprofit organization has been a cultural gem in Rowayton, CT. The gallery and art school overlook the scenic Five Mile River at 145 Rowayton Avenue with space for regional artists to exhibit their art and a classroom for workshops and classes at all levels offered to children and adults.
