Weston Library To Showcase Local Artists In July Exhibit

WESTON, CT — More than 55 artists from Weston and surrounding communities will be featured in a new art exhibit opening July 1 at the Weston Public Library.

The "Weston Connections" exhibit, organized by the Weston Commission for the Arts and the Friends of the Weston Library, will run through July 31. The free event highlights a diverse range of local talent in an effort to celebrate community and creativity.

“We put out a call for artists and weren’t sure how many would respond,” said Cindy Wagner, a professional portrait artist and commission member. “We’re delighted to have had so many submissions.”

Nancy Klein, also a member of the commission, said the variety and quality of the work exceeded expectations.

A public reception to meet the artists will be held Wednesday, July 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the library’s Community Room.

In addition to the exhibit, two art classes will be offered: a drawing and painting class for adults on Saturday, July 12, and a children’s class on Saturday, July 26. Registration details are available online here.
