“”¦It is a wonderful way for the Stamford Art Association to celebrate its 50th year of bringing art to the community” said Christine Irvin, SAA President.
Open to all artists, this exhibition has been juried by artist/designer and Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum Trustee Gail Ingis, ASID, and Architect Robert Cohen, AIA, who selected 25 works from digital submissions. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winners at the artist reception Oct. 7.
The exhibition explores artists”™ interpretations about diversity of space, structural elements and buildings of the past and the present, showing the impact architecture has in their creative process and how they integrate these elements into their representational or abstract work. The Stamford Art Association began in 1971 when 24 local artists created the Association and Townhouse Gallery. Located at 39 Franklin St. in Stamford, it is currently celebrating its 50th year and is Stamford”™s oldest gallery.
