The exhibition is curated by artist Nancy Moore. The reception is free and open to the public.

“The Artists Collective of Westport is a group of excellent artists that have exhibited at a number of local venues over the last few years, including recently at The Westport Library. Some of the artists from the Collective have exhibited at Wilton Library before, and we are happy to welcome them back for this show curated by Nancy Moore, whose work was featured here in a solo show in April,” said Ed MacEwen, Art Chairman of Wilton Library. “In addition, the special graphics for this exhibition were designed by Miggs Burroughs, our contact for inviting them to the library to share their creative art.”

The exhibition runs through Monday, October 30. A majority of the works are available for purchase with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the library. Wilton Library hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. The library will be closed on Monday, October 9 for the Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples’ Day holiday.
