UConn Stamford Art Gallery presents

Different Strokes
The Pink House Painters at UCONN Stamford
April 9th – May 18th, 2012

The UConn Stamford Art Gallery is pleased to announce a forthcoming exhibition by The Pink House Painters: “Different Strokes.” The show will be held from April 9th – May 18th, 2012 in the Art Gallery located in the heart of UConn’s downtown campus.

Starting in 1970, under the mentorship of Westport painter, Arlene Skutch, The Pink House Painters meet weekly for camaraderie, critiques and creativity. The name derives from the fact that Arlene’s studio, in which they gather, is next to her bright pink Cape Cod style antique house, built in 1876.  While most members of the group exhibit their work individually in exhibitions and commercial galleries, Different Strokes provides an opportunity for them to come together in celebration of their diversity and close bond.

 The Pink House group is a society of painters diverse in perspective, style and media.  Infused with the creative energy of the group, each member expresses his or her individuality through art.  The UCONN show highlights the work of 36 members of this artists’ community.

The opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 28th from 3-5 PM.  The reception is free and open to the public. Exhibiting artists are listed on the page that follows.
