The one-night event is free and open to the public.
Artists participating include Amy Bock, Ivanilde Brunow, Trace Burroughs, Eric Chiang, Randi Davis, Niki Ketchman, Susan Lloyd, Day Moore, Olivia Munroe, Diane Pollack, Steve Pomerantz, Nancy Reinker, Jill Sarver, Norm Siegel, and Al Coyote Wiener.
The 15 artists who exhibited at this year’s spring Pop Up elected the 15 participating artists. In turn, the artists in this Pop Up will each select an artist to exhibit in the spring 2016 Pop Up, creating an ongoing cycle of artists selecting artists.
Helen Klisser During, the Westport Arts Center’s artistic director, and five local artists founded the Collective in 2014. Founding artist members include Nina Bentley, Tammy Winser, Jahmane West, Duvian Montoya, and Miggs Burroughs.
“Our Collective Pop Up shows are a friendly, satisfying surprise,” said co-founder Tammy Winser. “There’s something exciting about a event that appears almost instantaneously, announces ‘Come and get it while it’s hot!’ and then is gone the next day.”
