The exhibition will be on display during bank hours from May 5 through August 7, 2009. An artists' reception is scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, from 5 to 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

This exhibition showcases visual meditations on nature by Connecticut artists Claudia Cron and Barbara Hocker.

Claudia Cron's work has been exhibited in solo and group shows throughout Connecticut, and in Alabama, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington, D.C. An Essex, Conn. resident, Cron participated in the Arts Council's 2007 members show, Inclusion. Her work is represented in the Flatfile collection at Artspace in New Haven.

Barbara Hocker, a resident of Coventry, Conn., has exhibited her work extensively in solo and group shows in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Rhode Island. Last year, Hocker received a grant award through the Greater Hartford Arts Council's New Boston Fund Individual Artist Fellowship Program. In 2006, she participated in Artspace's City-Wide Open Studios.

Works by both Cron and Hocker were included in the Arts Council-curated 2008 Player's Lounge Invitational Exhibition at the Pilot Pen Tennis tournament in New Haven.
