Exploring Memories: Artists Collective of Westport Presents ‘Been There’ Exhibition
Eight Artists Showcase Diverse Works Inspired by Personal Journeys
[Norwalk, CT, April 14th] — Step into a world of memories and personal journeys at the upcoming “Been There” exhibition, where eight talented artists from the Artists Collective of Westport unveil a captivating collection of works. Opening Saturday, April 26th from 5-7 p.m. at ARTworks Gallery, 60 East Avenue, Norwalk, CT, this exhibition runs through May 18th. Housed in the historic Chittim-Howell House on the grounds of St. Paul’s on the Green, the show promises to transport visitors through time and space with evocative paintings, striking photography, and thought-provoking sculptures. The public is warmly invited to meet the artists at the opening reception.
These artists—Janine Brown, Louise Cadoux, Leonor Dao, Susan Fehlinger, Rebeca Fuchs, Fruma Markowitz, Barbara Ringer, and Lisa Silberman—bring depth to their craft. For over a year, they’ve gathered monthly as a critique group within the Artists Collective of Westport, sharing feedback that has sharpened their skills and shaped their visions. The result? An exhibition that’s both cohesive and strikingly individual, exploring the theme of “Been There” through personal reflections on objects, people, and places that linger in memory.
Expect the unexpected from Barbara Ringer’s soul-stirring photography to Louise Cadoux’s intricate sculptures, each piece tells a story. Whether it’s a nostalgic glimpse of a childhood moment or a meditation on a life-altering experience, these works invite viewers to connect with the artists on an intimate level.
Mark your calendars for a special Artists’ Walk and Talk at the closing reception on Sunday, May 18th at 4 p.m. This is your chance to hear straight from the creators about the inspirations and techniques behind their art—a perfect capstone to an unforgettable exhibition.
