We've been BUSY! Please see the wonderful Huffington Post and Fairfield County Weekly reviews onLandscape: Scene / Re-seen. This exhibition, curated by Helen Klisser During is featuring major contemporary photographs from the Andrew and Christine Hall Collection. The Landscape exhibition will be on view until September 2, 2012. Not to be missed!

Thank you very much to NYU Professor Emeritus, Sumner Jules Glimcher, for presenting his book, "A Filmmaker's Journal" at last week's ArtCafé Happy Hour! Also a special thank you to Erin Ostreicher of Erin Ostreicher Designsfor her beautiful and informative demonstration on local floral design at last week's Summer Café! Next week's Summer Café will feature Patti Popp of East Farm Hill, who will discuss organic farming. Lunch is offered by Du Soleil from 12:30 - 1:30pm on the WAC deck.

This week, we hope that you can join us for A Night of Nurturing Nature this Thursday, July 19 at 6pm! In collaboration with the Nature Conservancy Connecticut, the Westport Arts Center will host a "speed dating of the environmental minds" for a most insightful evening.
