Sprouting Spaces 1: William Nelson Studio Opening
“Sprouting Spaces 1” serves as a platform for the entirety of Stamford, its surrounding communities, its growing tourist industry, and the plethora of professionals who live and travel to the region. The purpose of the program is to take a street level commercial space at 100 Washington Boulevard and transform it into an active studio for the next 12 months. The space will house contemporary painter William Nelson, one of the Gallery’s exceptional professional artists.
Both the Gallery and BLT recognize the dialogue that art generates, as well as the barriers it eliminates. This is why “Sprouting Spaces 1” is more than just an art studio; it is a way to unite the community through a shared creative experience and conversation as the population comes out to view Nelson’s work, engage with his personality and narrative, and see the space in a new and interesting light.
