On View at the Guilford Art Center from April 24 – May 17, 2026
The artists of Gallery One present “Inside Looking Out,” an exhibition exploring the subtle boundary between our inner lives and the outside world. Whether it be painting, photography, collage or sculpture, the artists make meaningful connections through visual narratives. The show is on view at the Gallery at the Guilford Art Center from April 24 through May 17. Join the artists for the opening reception on Sunday, April 26, from 2pm to 4pm.
Exhibiting artists include: Rosemary Cotnoir (Westbrook), Michael Fanelli (Clinton), Victor Filepp (New London), Karen Israel (West Hartford), Ann Knickerbocker (Old Saybrook), Brian McClear (West Hartford), T. Willie Raney (Ivoryton), Diana Rogers (Clinton), Rick Silberberg (Ivoryton), Jill Vaughn (Ivoryton), and guest artists Judith Barbour Osborne (Chester) and Mariette Brown (Old Saybrook).
“As artists, what we see outside is often shaped by the rooms we carry within. The boundary between inside and outside begins to blur as we create,” said Michael Fanelli.
“I find it fascinating that working with collage often reveals powerful visual metaphors in my art. From the patterns of sand waves to the beautiful sea creatures that once flourished on our shores, we are all connected,” said Jill Vaughn.
“As I face each new blank canvas, I can find myself feeling too introspective. When I begin to look outward, suddenly the new artwork can begin to breath,” said Ann Knickerbocker.
The Guilford Art Center is located at 411 Church Street in Guilford, CT (located just off I-95 and Exit 58). The exhibit is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday, 10am to 4pm and Sunday, 12pm to 4pm. For more information, visit www.galleryonect.com or contact us at galleryonect@gmail.com.
