Art openings!

Hiatus is over! This weekend marks the opening of what appears to be a busy fall visual arts season.

Northwestern Connecticut Community College
Gallery at Founder's Hall
Park Place, Winsted
Bob Gregson: Ambiguous Territories
Aug. 27—Sept. 28, 2007.

There are, in fact, a couple of openings today. As I write this, they are probably cleaning up the snacks at Bob Gregson's opening for his Ambiguous Territories show. The exhibit, in the Gallery at Founder's Hall of Northwestern Connecticut Community College in Winsted, will run through Sept. 28. Gregson, who has been written about before on Connecticut Art Scene, describes the "ambiguous territory" thus: "the place between the artwork and the viewer...a place where multiple meanings exist simultaneously."
