Artist Reception and Conversation: With Artists Nina Bentley, Susan Fehlinger, and Jean Krasno
Join us on February 12 for an artist reception and conversation with Nina Bentley, Susan Fehlinger, Jean Krasno, and Miggs Boroughs.
Westport has a rich heritage as an artists' community, which continues today with a vibrant, local arts scene. Our goal is to honor this legacy by making the arts accessible to everyone.
Our three galleries of rotating exhibits provide visitors with the opportunity to experience original work by local artists. The Library's permanent art collection and ongoing arts programming further demonstrate our deep commitment to the local and regional arts community.
Featured exhibits change on a regular basis. If you would like to suggest an idea for an exhibit, please review the Exhibit Inquiry Guidelines.
