Community Radio ArtFest Returning October 3-4

NEW HAVEN — WPKN ArtFest 2009 will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 3-4, in Erector Square Building Six-West (first floor), 315 Peck Street in New Haven.

Thirty-five artists from Connecticut and New York will be offering an array of works including drawings, paintings and photographs to ceramics, stained glass, and even a lunch date and tour of New York’s Williamsburg neighborhood with renowned assemblage artist Steve Gerberich, whose work will also be in the show.

Proceeds from all sales will go to support listener-supported WPKN (89.5 FM) and WPKM (88.7).

The event is taking place as part of the Twelfth Annual City-Wide Open Studios event, New Haven’s annual happening that is sponsored by ArtSpace and celebrates the creative work of hundreds of visual artists throughout the area.

On Friday, October 2, there will be an opening and preview party for WPKN ArtFest from 7 until 10 pm with music, food, and an opportunity to meet the artists as well as WPKN programmers, staff and fellow listeners.

Visitors can also visit the WPKN exhibit from 10 am until 6 pm Saturday and Sunday, as well as the studios of dozens of other artists and craftspeople who are part of the Erector Square community.

Images of the artworks that will be available during this benefit sale can be viewed at the City-Wide Open Studios website at www.cwos.org.
