Peter and Kim Arguimbau have moved Arguimbau Art from Greenwich Avenue to the unique historic space at the “Boatyard” in the Riverside section of Greenwich. Built in about 1850, the boatyard has, over the years, been the headquarters of Ben Lockwood’s oystering business, served as a blacksmith shop, and since 1935 was the home of “Ole’s Boatyard.” It has been fully restored by Chris and Rachel Franco. Peter Arguimbau is a resident artist of Greenwich and native of Darien who specializes in classic marine paintings and vistas. His oil paintings are well known for their luminist quality of light. A grand opening reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m., Thursday, May 9 at 350 Riverside Ave.
