Time to ‘GLOW’

GREENWICH — The Flinn Gallery at Greenwich Library is letting a quartet of abstract artists shine with its newest exhibit, GLOW.
The exhibit, which opens Feb. 9 and runs until March 22, features two- and three-dimensional artworks by artists Ryan Crotty, Susan Meyer, Linda Kamille Schmidt and Audrey Stone.
According to a release from the gallery, the works “intersect with themes of color, transparency, process and materiality.” The show is curated by Ellen Hawley
During the six-week exhibit, Greenwich Library programming includes February “staycation” programming during the week of February school break, Feb.13 to 17. Inspired by the Flinn Gallery artists, kids 9 and older can make colorful circuits glow with salt and watercolor.
The gallery’s storytime and music programs also will incorporate themes of color and art into their programming.
Additionally, a pre-recorded GLOW Artist Talk with Art New England Magazine’s publisher, Rita A. Fucillo will be available online Feb. 16.
Other GLOW-themed event include a talk by Fritz Horstman at 7 p.m. Feb. 23. Horstman, of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation will discuss the German artist Josef Albers, whose approach to color and drawing made a major impact on art education.
