“06880” is “where Westport meets the world.”

And today’s online art gallery resembles (as it often does) a globe.

With artwork inspired by Alaska, Japan, China — and of course Westport — we hope to inspire all of our readers.

Wherever you are.

We hope our gallery inspires your inner artist too. We invite submissions from all “06880” readers. 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.

Today’s online art gallery marks 2 milestones.

We’re beginning our 6th year of this feature. It started in the very early days of COVID. The goal was to encourage homebound residents a chance to paint, draw or photograph their feelings about the pandemic.

It quickly evolved into a gallery for art of all themes, and all genres. Submissios poured in, from Westporters and “06880” readers far away.

When the immediate crisis eased, we kept going.

Now — 5 years later — today’s edition includes the most number of works ever: 17.

Thanks to all who are represented today. And all who have helped make this a valued and much-anticipated feature of “06880,” every Saturday morning since March of 2020.

So, to reiterate: We invite submissions from all “06880” readers. 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.

Just email a jpeg to 06880blog@gmail.com. And please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.

As winter staggers to a close, our online art gallery features … not one seasonal submission.

Perhaps we’re all too weary of snow and slush. Even in the hands of the most talented artists, it’s a subject we’re ready to move on from.

Instead, we’ve got a boat, a beach, hand-holding, abstract art and more.

This feature is open to all. Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone is invited to contribute.

Just email a jpeg to 06880blog@gmail.com. And please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.
