Irish women artists exhibit "Contemplative Myths" at Quick Center

An exhibit, "Contemplative Myths: Images by Contemporary Irish Women Artists," is on view in the lobby of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts through April 8. The display is part of the Quick Center's six-week, multi-event Irish Arts & Letters Festival.

On view are the works of Ann Stahl which chart the disappearance of Ireland's bogs; Joanna Kidney's collages of silks; Lara Cobden's photographs, combined with paintings; and Alice Lyons' works which are inspired by old maps, manuscripts and stories from the lives of the saints. Also on display are Karen Cotter's paintings - influenced by urban landscapes and crumbling ruins; the works of Natacha Loyer whose muse is mountains, lakes and wild flowers; and, Gemma Serry's unique etchings and lithographs which provide a surreal and often humorous interpretation of everyday life.

Viewing hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and, on performance days, Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free. For information call (203) 254-4010 or toll-free at 1-877-ARTS-396.
