Silvermine Arts Center, in partnership with New Canaan Library, presents The Silvermine Effect: A Century of Creative Community, an exhibition celebrating more than one hundred years of artistic innovation, education, and cultural impact.

The Silvermine Effect traces this remarkable story through the work of Guild artists past and present, archival photographs that capture Silvermine’s rich history, and artwork by instructors, students, and outreach participants that reflects its dynamic present. Visitors will encounter a vibrant narrative of creativity — one that demonstrates how Silvermine has shaped lives for generations and continues to expand access to the arts today.

New Canaan Library | 151 Main Street, New Canaan, CT 06840

Library Hours: Monday-Thursday: 9am-8pm | Friday: 9am-5pm | Saturday: 10am-5pm | Sunday: 12pm-5pm
