Fairfield Arts Commission To Host 'Fairfield Arts Mixer' This Month
The event will be held at the Black Rock Theater on June 19.
Information from the Town of Fairfield:
FAIRFIELD, CT — The Town of Fairfield’s Arts Commission invites all artists, creatives and enthusiasts to join them at the first “Fairfield Arts Mixer”, which will be held on Wednesday, June 19th from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Black Rock Theater, located at 1935 Black Rock Turnpike in Fairfield. Lite refreshments and a cash bar will be available.
The “Arts Mixer” networking event is an outgrowth from the Community Conversation on the Arts workshop that the Fairfield Arts Commission held earlier this year. “We heard from workshop attendees that they were looking for opportunities to meet and engage with other artists,” remarked Fairfield Arts Commission Vice-Chair Connor Deane, who is hosting the
inaugural event at the Black Rock Theater. “The Commission felt that holding regular networking events at different venues throughout Town was something that we could do fairly quickly and didn’t require a lot of resources,” agreed Commission Chair Charlie MacDonald. He noted that the Arts Commission is looking to hold these mixers quarterly.
