The Stamford Downtown Special Services District transformed Stamford into a living art exhibit for the last weekend in June; arranging artist meet and greets, live music and art classes and I was lucky enough to be among the featured artist's at this year's Art Walk.
Over 30 merchants in the downtown area opened their doors to host local artists. I was stationed at Minuteman Press, while my friends and fellow artists Bob Callahan was at Lucky's and Holly Danger at the Lorca Coffee Shop.
For the occasion Meg Dalton also organized an interactive public art project - a Before I Die Wall - that invited people to reflect on their lives and what matters most. A lot of people shared their wish to travel (everywhere on this world and even to the Moon!), someone hoped to "fall in love, again", and another "to own a lamb."
I'm also very excited to share that my artwork will be on exhibit again in Stamford at the Fernando Luis Alvarez Gallery's annual "Thank You, CT!" show that opens this Saturday. This year the show was judged by the well-known art critic Anthony Haden-Guest, so I can't wait to see all the other pieces on display!
