Sunday at the Nuthouse

Gallery Reception: This exhibition celebrates a brief period in the development of three artists who came together with the renowned author and children’s book illustrator, Maurice Sendak, on Sundays in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Between 2003-4, Sendak convened a small group of artists and students in live drawing sessions at his home in order to provide Sendak with an occasional break from working long hours in his studio on such projects as the illustrations and sets for the children’s opera, Brundibar. Participants in the exhibition include Maurice Sendak, artist and art historian, Jonathan Weinberg, and artists Marc McChesney and Jamison Odone.
