Wilton Library Exhibit “Artists of the Loft Artists Association” Reception

At least eighteen area artists will be showcased in Wilton Library’s January exhibition, “Artists of the Loft Artists Association.” The Loft Artists Association (LAA) is a vibrant community of established and emerging artists in Stamford that began in 1978 as the vision of three local artists who moved into the vacant Yale and Towne Lock Factory building to work and live. The LAA’s mission is to provide artists with a supportive environment, exhibition and networking opportunities, and to reach out to the community at large with education and artistic expression. The Loft Artists Studios and Galleries, located in Stamford’s South End, features 14 artist studios and over 1,200 square feet of exhibit space. 

The artists from the group will be exhibiting their works in an array of styles, media choices, and subject matter. The artists are: Laura Appelman, Soledad Bence, Matt Black, Rosa Colón, Afsaneh Djabbari-Aslani, Almudena Fernandez Vicens, Maria C. Friscia, Rita Ghandour, Elisa Groglio, Bill Jones, Chermia Lucas, Mark Macrides, Dorothy McClure, Maura Smotrich, Sandra Stadtmiller, Erica Stoller, Emi Subotovsky, and Annette Voreyer. 

Opening reception on Friday, January 5 from 6 to 7:30 pm is free and open to the public. Exhibition runs through January 31. A majority of the works will be available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the library.
