It’s a record!
Over 20 artists are featured in today’s online art gallery. What a great way to kick off Westport’s Fine Arts Festival. As every artist must know, it runs today and tomorrow (Saturday and Sunday), from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Main Street, Elm Street and Church Lane.
See you there — after, of course, you check out the works here.
And don’t forget: “06880” readers are always welcome to submit art. No matter what style or subject you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we welcome your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.
This feature is open to all. Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone can contribute.
Please email a JPG to 06880blog@gmail.com. And please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.
