Art Gallery Calendar
Kent has been called the "Cultural Heart of the Litchfield Hllls" and for good reason. Kent has focused on art ever since a colony of artists discovered its natural beauty in the late 19th century. Members of that colony established the Kent Art Association in 1923 and this year the organization, still going strong, is celebrating its 101st year.
The legacy of those pioneering artists is everywhere. A casual visitor to Kent will notice that art graces the walls of the Fife ‘n Drum Restaurant and of the Kent Memorial Library. A number of craft galleries also grace the town center where you can find work of some of the top craftspeople from across the country or an assortment of American, Asian, African and Pacific Island art and antiques.

INLINE by Renaud Charrin
Peggy Mercury is pleased to present INLINE, a new installation by French-American artist Renaud Charrin.
INLINE features large, wall-based works that transform everyday materials into dynamic compositions of tension and release. Using mounted rods of clear plexiglass and ropes stretched across vivid color fields, Charrin reimagines their function. These familiar objects shift into new roles—becoming landscapes of rhythm, restraint, and possibility. Like lines drawn in space, the works guide the eye across invisible axes, where symmetry falters and energy surges. Though anchored in place, the pieces appear charged with motion, as if poised to shift at any moment.

WHAT LURKS ON CHANNEL X? featuring works by Rob Zombie
Morrison Gallery invites you to the first ever gallery exhibition of Rob Zombie’s paintings with "What Lurks on Channel X?"
Zombie’s paintings to be displayed are a colorful collision of pop culture iconography spanning over a decade’s worth of work. This exhibition will include over 10 large-scale works on canvas, featuring a multitude of famous sinister faces from Bela Lugosi to Charles Manson, juxtaposed with innocent representations of Archie comics favorites Betty and Veronica, or classic comedians like Laurel and Hardy or Jerry Lewis. These opposing forces compel the viewer to cast a new eye on familiar images and reconsider their meaning. (read more…)

ASSEMBLE (CUT, BURN, STITCH) WITH CARE featuring works by Laura Petrovich-Cheney, Tristan Fitch, Carolyn Millstein
Assemble (Cut, Burn, Stitch) with Care offers a rich visual dialogue that bridges fine art, craft, and design inviting reflection on the beauty of found materials, the possibility of transformation, and embracing unpredictability.
Each artist in the exhibition engages with acts of destruction and transformation as metaphors for resilience, memory, and reconstruction. Petrovich-Cheney’s sculptural assemblages repurpose salvaged wood into vibrant geometric compositions. Fitch’s work evokes tactile narratives through surfaces of pit fired porcelain and hand hewn found wood. Millstein’s stitched metal wall pieces weave together personal and collective histories with quiet intensity. The materials carry histories, scars, and stories that unfold across the surfaces of their work. (read more…)
