Join Co-Curator Tom Grotta of browngrotta arts (Wilton, CT) for a tour of the exhibition WordPlay: Messages in Branches & Bark, on view in the Flinn Gallery in Greenwich, CT.

Tom Grotta graduated from RIT with a fine arts degree in photography. He has been recognized for his extensive knowledge of contemporary art textiles and fiber sculpture and for his photography of fiber art.

As co-owner of browngrotta arts, Tom and his partner, Rhonda Brown, have advanced the field of fiber arts by exhibiting renowned contemporary artists. They show museum-quality artworks by more than 100 artists from 25 countries, including exhibition artists Gyöngy Laky and John McQueen.

• Reservations for this event are recommended but not required.

More on the exhibition:

WordPlay: Messages in Branches & Bark will include more than 50 sculptures by these two innovative artists. The work is both beautiful and intriguing, as it invites viewers to decipher words and meanings and examine how the pieces were assembled and constructed. There are elements of wit, whimsy, and fantasy in many of the pieces, leaving visitors both amazed and amused. All of the works on display are for sale and the proceeds go to the Friends of Greenwich Library to support public programming for patrons of all ages.

• The Opening Reception will be held on Thursday, March 30 from 6 — 8 pm.

Additional Events:

• Gyöngy Laky, Online Artist Talk | Thursday, April 20, 7 pm (Online Event)
• John McQueen, Artist Talk | Sunday, April 30, 2 pm, Flinn Gallery
