Wilton and Ridgefield, Connecticut: In the summer of 2011, Weir Farm National Historic Site commissioned New York photographer and former Artist-in-Residence Xiomáro to create a photographic record of the interiors of the Weir House, Weir Studio, and Young Studio. Xiomáro was tasked with documenting the present state of the buildings' interiors, prior to the completion of the four-phase restoration project now underway. A selection of these images comprise the new exhibit on display at Weir Farm National Historic Site titled Weir Was Here – Secret Rooms, Doors, and Windows, offering visitors a small glimpse into the historic structures while they remain closed to the public. All three buildings are currently empty, allowing Xiomáro the chance to focus on the details of these spaces -- features that might otherwise go unnoticed in a fully furnished setting. This is the first artistic collection of photographs of the building interiors in the site's history, and captures the beauty and texture of these intimate spaces. "There is a mystery and secrecy to these relatively empty spaces," Xiomáro explained, noting how "the same eyes and hands that created works of Impressionism also unlocked these doors and opened the shutters to take in the inspiring landscape framed by the windows." Weir Was Here – Secret Rooms, Doors, and Windows can be viewed in the Burlingham House Visitor Center on Saturdays and Sundays, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., now through March 31, 2012. From April 1st through May 31st, the exhibit can be viewed Thursdays – Sundays, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Xiomáro will present five gallery talks about his photographs titled In the Footsteps of Weir from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the following weekends: Saturday, January 7, Sunday, February 5Sunday, March 4, Sunday, April 1 and Sunday, May 6. There is no fee to participate in the gallery talks, but registration is required. For more information on the exhibit, or to register for one of the gallery talks, please call (203) 834-1896 x12.

The photograph he is holding is of a painting of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Merwin, a former Brookfield resident, killed July 2nd 1863 on the battlefield at Gettysburg.

The exhibit will take place at the Brookfield Museum located at the intersection of Routes 25 and 133 in Brookfield Center. It is scheduled to open Saturday, May 12, 2012 from noon till 4pm and continue each Saturday through June 2, 2012. It will also be open during the town's Memorial Day Parade on Sunday, May 27, 2012.

Through the efforts of the Historical Society we have been able to identify 43 former Brookfield residents who gave their lives in defense of our nation. This memorial exhibit gives our community an opportunity to gain a more intimate understanding of the courageous servicemen we honor. It not only provides their names, but also background information, where available, on both their civilian and military lives as well as poignant images and photographs. It is a moving tribute to these men who have made so grave a sacrifice for our community and our nation." For more information log onto www.brookfieldcthistory.org

HVRHS STUDENT ARTISTS EXHIBIT FOR 8TH ANNUAL BLUE GOLD AT THE WHITE Lakeville, CT., May 8, 2012 - Spring is in the air and with it comes the annual Blue Gold at The White. Now, in its eighth season, the popular Housatonic Valley Regional High School (HVRHS) art show will open on Friday, May 18 and run through Sunday, May 20th. An opening artists' reception is planned for Friday night from 4 - 7 pm with pizza provided by Deano's Pizza in Lakeville. "We look forward to this show every year," said Tino Galluzzo, director of The White Gallery. "The students' artwork is so diversified and the students themselves are a pleasure to work with." Works represented in this year's show cover a broad spectrum of mediums including acrylic, gouache, watercolor and egg tempura paintings; graphite, pastel, charcoal, colored pencil and oil pastel drawings; mixed media collage; traditional film and digital photography in black white and color; sculpture; animation and printmaking. "This year funds will help cover two large expenses that are over and above our regular annual budget; a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, and a new course, 'Art of Photography,'" said Warren Prindle, art teacher at HVRHS. "Although we have field trips in our budget, a trip like this has several substantial costs that go beyond our regular field trip budget, and the photography course requires substantial funds to upgrade the cameras." Prindle added that a generous donation by the Housatonic Valley Art League of Great Barrington, MA (formerly the Sheffield Art League) has contributed to the field trip, and that a grant from the 21st Century Fund, a community based organization that supports innovation at HVRHS, has provided money for the photography course that will be offered fall 2012. "The Blue Gold is very fortunate to have so many supporters and volunteers," added Prindle. In addition to The White Gallery and Deano's Pizza, sponsors include John Borden -- Sotheby's International Realty, The Sharon Women's Club, Peter Beck's Village Store and framing by Frames on Wheels. Returning to judge the show this year are local artists, Pieter Lefferts and Allen Blagden. Special hours for this show are Friday - Sunday 10 am - 5 pm. The White Gallery is located at 342 Main Street, Lakeville, CT.

KENT HISTORICAL SOCIETY SUNDAY SERIES REX BRASHER ARTWORK AND STORIES The Kent Historical Society's Sunday Series on May 20, 2012, 2:00PM, Kent Town Hall, will feature Deborah and Melode Brasher, grandnieces of famous artist Rex Brasher. Brasher has been called the 20th century Audubon for his realistic paintings of birds in their natural settings. From 1911-1960, Brasher made his home near Kent. He was also a founder of the Kent Art Association. Rex Brasher decided at age eight to paint every bird in North America, only better than Audubon had painted with the birds he first killed. Like Audubon, for years his financing was unreliable, some of it gained from wagering on race horses. The 1929 Depression collided with his sale of the Birds and Trees of North America, his multi-volume work of 874 different species. The year 2012 brings multiple efforts to revive the work and life of this great artist. Deborah and Melode Brasher know Rex's art and stories well. They spent time with him until they were in their twenties. The Brasher sisters will bring their memories of Uncle Rex, his life story, and some of his paintings to Kent's Town Hall on May 20. Melode's long teaching career was at Kent Center School and Deborah's at the Renbrook School in West Hartford. This is an opportunity to see and hear about the artistic genius of Rex Brasher. The program will last about an hour followed by refreshments. There is no admission charge although contributions are welcomed.
