jUNe Day Guests Visit Arts Center

The Westport Arts Center today welcomed jUNe Day guests and staff member Mercedes Arensberg guided the guests through the current exhibition “Main Street to Madison Avenue.” It features paintings, illustrations, and photography commissioned by Madison Avenue advertising agencies for iconic commercial branding and advertising campaigns in the 1950s to 1970s, many of which originated in Westport. Also on exhibit are works from the well-known pop art and contemporary artists who appropriated this advertising imagery. The exhibition is on view through June 30.
