Welcome back!
The Westport Arts Center is thrilled to announce that we kicked off our Fall 2011 ArtCafé season with over 30 guests in attendance! Coffee and freshly baked homemade blueberry and raspberry muffins were served as Visual Arts Director, Helen Klisser During, discussed what was hot and what was not- in the art world. Helen also presented a slide show featuring a slice of newly-opened exhibitions of Chelsea galleries as well as James Turrell's Baker Pool.
Please join us every Friday from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. Below are links to the highlighted and discussed subjects and articles. Happy reading!
Best wishes,
