The Pink House Painters: A diverse group of 38 Fairfield County artists

The Pink House Painters, a group of 38 Fairfield County artists, will be exhibiting at the UCONN Stamford Art Gallery May 15 through June 30.  The public is invited to attend an opening reception on Saturday May 16, 3-5pm.

Westport painter, Arlene Skutch, is the driving force behind this close-knit group of artists known as The Pink House Painters.  The name derives from the fact that Arlene’s studio in which they regularly gather, is next to her bright pink Cape Cod style house built in 1876. The painters are diverse in style and medium but they come together to share experiences, critique, encourage and inspire one another.  Most members of the group exhibit their work individually in exhibitions and commercial galleries. The UCONN show is the second formal group show outside the Pink House.  The work includes watercolors, acrylics, oils and multi-media pieces – representational to abstract in style.
