Moved by art Loft artists open exhibit in their new home
Artists are used to solitary conditions, but now "it's kind of like we're living in the cool college art dorm," says Denning. In a new exhibition, "Art Moved," which begins with a reception Thursday, the Loft Artists open their doors to the community again, anxious to show off their art and new workspaces. They describe the show as a collective thank-you to Antares and Mayor Dannel Malloy for their efforts to keep the artists in the evolving South End. "I think we all feel at home," says Jody Silver, an Old Greenwich resident who is among the newest members of the Loft Artists. Silver recently left a similar group of artists' studios in Port Chester, N.Y., to join the Stamford group, drawn by the Loft Artists' commitment to creating a true artistic community.
