A group of talented Silvermine artists
exhibited their work at the Lockwood Gallery in the Norwalk
Museum from December 8 through December 22. The art on
display was by our own painters, sculptors, illustrators,
cartoonists, printmakers, and photographers. The show was a
celebration of the settling of Solon Borglum in the
Silvermine area one hundred years ago. The Artists in
Residence exhibit was both a recognition of Silvermine’s
unique artistic heritage that goes back a hundred years and
a demonstration of its position as a thriving home for
talented artists today.
The opening reception on December 8 welcomed
a large crowd of Silverminers who enjoyed the sounds of the
award winning New Canaan High School Woodwind Quintet and
the sights of their neighbors’ art work. Norm Siegel and
Walt Buttrick did a masterful job of promoting the show on
local television. Walt also designed the postcard that was a
work of art in itself and Connie Hains provided publicity
that drew crowds to the event.
For Silvermine artists interested in
exhibiting your art next year. Contact Nancy Lloyd by phone

Show as the subject).
THANK YOU to Friends of the Norwalk
Museums, Inc. and the Norwalk Historical Commission for
providing the space and the SILVERMINE MARKET for happily
providing the food that we all enjoyed at the opening.
