SUMMARY:Now is the Time
DESCRIPTION:20 artists interpret this provocative theme\, presenting art that reacts to the times and issues of their choosing\, or the actual condition and our contemporary relationship with time. Among the inspirations is the quote “There is no time for despair\, no place for self-pity\, no need for silence\, no room for fear… This is precisely the time when artists go to work. That is how civilizations heal.” (Paraphrased from Toni Morrison.) \nView a variety of visual expressions\, mediums\, and materials\, from metal and fiber to works on paper. Highlights include an illustration by artist/poet Shanna Melton\, a contemplative photography series by Joan Fitzsimmons\, and “Renewal 1\,000\,000 A.D.” by Joseph Fekieta. This absurd installation depicts a time far into the future when decayed plastic has finally returned to carbon\, renewing life itself. Exhibit runs through January 10\, 2027. \nExhibiting artists: Joseph Annino\, Marcio Arteaga\, Mary Bailey\, Carlos Biernnay\, Byron Bigelow\, Joseph Fekieta\, Joan Fitzsimmons\, Lilah Heyman\, Suzanne Kachmar\, Daniel Lanzilotta\, Iyaba Ibo Mandingo\, Shanna Melton\, Larry Morse\, Yolanda Vasquez Petrocelli\, Lindsay Randolph\, Scott Schuldt\, Ellen Tresselt\, Rita Valley\, and Joan Wheeler.

SUMMARY:ART•SENAL OF DEMOCRACY
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATES! \nART•SENAL OF DEMOCRACY: Reflections of the Times \nArt as resistance. Creativity as a weapon. Expression as a call to action. \nSAVE THE DATES! Join us during the Bridgeport Art Trail for a provocative exhibition that bridges Bridgeport’s powerful history with the urgency of our present. \nDuring the World Wars\, Bridgeport earned its nickname\, “The Arsenal of Democracy\,” manufacturing the tools and machinery that helped shape history. \nToday\, a new battle of ideas is unfolding\, and artists are answering the call. This time\, our arsenal is filled with words\, images\, beats\, bodies\, and stories. \nAs the legendary Nina Simone once said\, “An artist’s duty\, as far as I’m concerned\, is to reflect the times.” \nART•SENAL OF DEMOCRACY brings together artists whose work confronts\, questions\, challenges\, and gives voice to the world around us. \nThis exhibition is more than a reflection of our times. It’s a REACTION. \nCome experience art that sparks dialogue\, challenges perspectives\, and reminds us of the power of creative expression. \nBridgeport\, CT | Bridgeport Art Trail \nSave the dates! More details to come.
