Event History
This is an annual event.
The Carriage Barn Arts Center and The New Canaan Chamber of Commerce are seeking artists to showcase in New Canaan store windows, and to participate in a downtown celebration of the arts. Artists may submit up to three pieces which may be selected for display and sale in one of New Canaan’s premier retail windows.
All sizes are welcome, but take into consideration that many stores have limited window space so smaller pieces are easier to place. Any medium is welcome, including sculpture. The designation of artwork in the stores is at the discretion of the director and the Art in the Windows committee. VIRTUAL GALLERY:
In addition to downtown store windows, artwork will also be featured through an online virtual gallery and social media campaigns. SALES: Artists receive 50% and 50% supports the New Canaan Society for the Arts. SPECIAL EVENT: On Friday, May 30th from 5-7pm, the Carriage Barn and New Canaan Chamber of Commerce, along with other community organizations and business partners, will host downtown celebration of creativity! Art-inspired window displays, culinary creations, live music and a community art project will be part of this kick-off event. PRINTED PROGRAM & SOCIAL MEDIA: Artists and participating stores will be included on a program distributed throughout New Canaan. The Art in the Windows will also be promoted through an ongoing social media campaign.
