A new show at the Rowayton Arts Center (RAC), “At the Table” will be on view June 23, 2019 through July 21, 2019. This all media exhibition features artwork by more than 50 RAC Exhibiting Artists members from the area. The opening reception is free and open to the public on Sunday, June 23, 2019 from 4 pm to 6 pm.
RAC gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 12 to 5 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm. The Chair for the exhibition is Amy Schott and the Co-chair is Milan Chilla. The judge, Westport artist Heidi Palmer, focuses on three elements in her work: light, air and the meaning of time. Light governs her compositions, defines form and serves as the catalyst for delving into the ephemeral effects of air and atmosphere, which clarify the painting’s sense of place. Heidi attended L’École des Beaux Arts de Montréal, Canada, and earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows around New England and has paintings included in public collections such as the New York Presbyterian Medical Center and the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City, as well as Hunter Museum of Art in Chattanooga, TN. Heidi is represented by the Jessie Edwards Studio on Block Island, RI; Somerville Manning Gallery in Greenville, DE; and Cooper and Smith Gallery in Essex, CT.
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, RAC has been a cultural gem in the Norwalk community. The gallery and art school overlook the scenic Five Mile River in Rowayton, CT 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.
