J House Greenwich hosts art show with local artists

The J House Greenwich will host an art reception and exhibition on October 22 featuring works by local artists Jennifer Weinstein and Melissa McCann Santangelo.

The event, which runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., promises an evening of vibrant art, photography, and creative expression.

Greenwich resident Jennifer Weinstein embraced the arts as a child. A graduate of Pratt Institute, she has over two decades of experience in graphic design and fine arts in New York City and Westchester. Weinstein crafts bold, colorful landscapes and portraits in a variety of media, with her custom hand-painted jackets highlighting her robust design sense. The Greenwich Art Society, Carriage Barn Arts Center and Ridgefield Arts Guild have displayed her work, which also appears at local venues like Harvest and South Bay restaurants in Greenwich.

Melissa McCann Santangelo, a Greenwich-based photographer, specializes in capturing portraits, florals, urban landscapes, and travel photography. After earning degrees from Georgetown University and Harvard Law School, McCann Santangelo transitioned from a successful career as a corporate tax attorney to pursuing her passion for photography. She has since dedicated herself to capturing life’s beautiful moments through her lens.

Tickets for the reception are $15 per person and include a glass of wine and passed hors d'oeuvres. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Maria Fareri Children's Hospital. The J House is located at 1114 East Putnam Avenue.
