See Darien’s ‘Golden Age of Art and Design’ Exhibit at Darien Historical Society
|
The Darien Historical Society is taking visitors on a trip back in time, to an era in Darien’s history rich with the arts and creativity. Their exhibit, “Darien 1925-1950 ~ Golden Age of Art and Design,” showcases the work of a wide variety of artists and their influence on the town. The exhibit will run through September 11. The Society will also host several evening receptions featuring talks by the key curators, and a souvenir program booklet. The exhibit begins with the story of how Darien formed New England’s second earliest art colony, the Guild of the Seven Arts, and how the new world of radios, slick magazines and Victrolas created a huge demand for artists in the New York metropolitan area; many flocking to live and work in Darien.
