Guild Artists Expressing âPolitical Persuasionsâ

At Silvermine

NEW CANAAN â âPolitical Persuasions: Left, Right & Center,â a new multi-media group exhibition in Silvermine Galleries, will open with a public reception on Friday, September 10, from 7 to 9 pm, and then remain on view through October 10. The Silvermine Guildâs over 300 artists were invited to participate in the show as an opportunity to express their personal opinions on the state of the country, politics and the upcoming election.

âThis is sure to be a provocative, controversial show,â says Gallery Director Helen Klisser During, âand the views expressed by individual artists do not necessarily represent the views of the Silvermine Guild Arts Center management or trustees.â

âWe decided to seize the moment,â said Silvermine Executive Director Cindy Clair. âWeâre celebrating freedom of expression. Itâs a particular time in our nationâs history when everyone has an opinion, and artists have never been shy about voicing their opinions visually.â

âPolitical Persuasionsâ will be complemented by dynamic one-artist shows featuring works by Judith Steinberg of Stamford and Natasha Karpinskaia of Wilton, and Directorâs Choice exhibits presenting works by Barbara Wilk of Westport and Barry Guthertz of Norwalk.

Located at 1037 Silvermine Road, Silvermine Galleries are open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 1 to 5 pm. For further information call 203-966-1517 or visit www.SilvermineArt.org.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
