Gallery at Plumb Memorial Library in Shelton displays artist's work

The Gallery at Plumb Memorial Library is featuring art

by Jacqueline A. Berg now through Dec. 11.

From the Shelton Library System:

"Jackie is a lifelong painter and creative who majored in journalism at the University of Iowa and was employed as a copywriter for the Chicago Tribune in the mid-1940s. 

"She was later instrumental in the founding of her late husband John Berg’s advertising agency in Stamford, playing a crucial creative role as art director and strategist in the early years of the successful company.

"While raising a family in New Canaan, Jackie found time to take oil painting instruction at the Silvermine Art Guild in Norwalk and created still lifes and scenes inspired by her travels. The oil paintings, watercolors, and pencil drawings will be on display in the library gallery until Dec. 11, 2025."

Art exhibit in Madison features folks connecting over tea

How many significant conversations throughout the world have occurred over a cup of tea? 

Whether with friends and family, or work colleagues, or even among nations through statecraft, talking over tea has been one of the few cultural expressions that unite us as a human family. 


An exhibition at Mercy by the Sea’s Mary C. Daly RSM Art Gallery, 167 Neck Road, Madison shares the works of 44 artists who expressed their interpretations of the human experience of connecting over tea. 

The gallery show runs Aug.18-Oct. 14, and the opening is from 2-4 p.m. Sunday.

Both the premiere of the video TEA, Connecting Cultures and a piece of performance art by Thomas J. Foran will enrich the opening. 
The collaboration is organized by artist and architect Ann E. Grasso.

The gallery is open 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

This information is taken from a press release from artist Ann Grasso.
