Installing ‘SOLOS 2016’

The Westport Arts Center (WAC) today installed works of art for its “SOLOS 2016” exhibit opening Friday with a 6 to 8 p.m. reception. It features more than 40 works from eight regional artists. Douglas Hyland (2nd l), former director of the New Britain Museum of American Art in New Britain, was juror, selecting from more than 160 entries. Joining him for a photo were (l-r) Amanda Innes, WAC acting executive director; Jill Sarver, WAC visual arts manager; exhibiting artist Nina Bentley, and WAC board member Michael Loeb. At left is Bentley’s work, “There Are No Words,” reflecting the moments in life that are so overwhelming, there truly are no words. The exhibit runs through Aug. 20.
