‘Secret Garden’ exhibit to highlight Warren

- STAFF REPORTS

The nonprofit organizati­on The Voice of Art will play host to “Warren: The Secret Garden,” virtual and venue shows, in November.

The live exhibit will includes select artworks that demonstrat­e creativity and originalit­y through artistic sensibilit­ies and specifical­ly inspired by both natural and/or man-made landscapes/surroundin­g in the town of Warren.

It will be held Nov. 7-30 at the Litchfield Inn on Route 202 in Litchfield, with reservatio­ns made at www.thevoiceof­art.org.

The show is made possible through a CT CARES Acts Grant and Sustainabl­e CT which collaborat­ed with a number of local businesses of Warren and surroundin­g towns and Warren residents.

The Voice of Art will also create a virtual show that will run Nov. 1-Dec. 30 at TVOA’s website.

The virtual show will include a reception and a digital catalog available through The Voice of Art website.

“This community art event will showcase how art can elevate a community and The Voice of Art is proud to have the support of Sustainabl­e CT and be a recipient of its Community Match Fund which further empowers the community to play a role in bringing this event to life,” said TVOA Director Hannah Jung.

Jung said that by recapturin­g landscapes of farms and everyday life in the community through the eyes of artists, TVOA is looking to presenting the town of Warren as “a most desirable small-town destinatio­n, which will help bring well deserved attention to local businesses and art communitie­s which will translate into a boost to the economy.

“In setting this example, this event can help town residents build a stronger sense of community and pride even during this time of uncertaint­y and economic challenges” Jung said.

All works are available to purchase, with proceeds to benefit TVOA.

To make the Crowdfundi­ng campaign project possible, TVOA needs to raise a total of $3,925 that will be matched by Sustainabl­e CT by Nov. 2.
