Not just for artists! All are welcome ... just drop in!
The artists and "art appreciators" who have been enjoying the new series of Art21 episodes asked us to
continue with additional screenings, so we have selected 4 segments from past seasons to extend this
engaging special event hosted by RAC and The Rowayton Library!
We invite everyone eager to learn more about contemporary art and the creative people producing
thought-provoking new work to join us for the screenings and a stimulating discussion with artists from
the Rowayton Arts Center. Bring your lunch, sit back and learn about a trio of accomplished artists, and
then share ideas about the concepts, personalities and theme of the episode.
