There's a lot happening here at Portrait of America. 240 9-foot banner portraits just went up around downtown Hartford. Soon, murals will wrap various buildings, big enough to catch the eyes of commuters on 1-84.
This Saturday, our first formal exhibition will open at the Tremaine Gallery at the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, CT. On view are portraits from Hartford, Litchfield and New London, as well as montages and video. This show will provide a sneak peek into the larger exhibition slated for this summer.
Hope to see you at the opening this Saturday. The Tremaine Gallery at The Hotchkiss School is located at the intersection of Routes 41 and 112 in Lakeville, Connecticut. Visitor parking is available in the main circle in front of the School. The opening party is from from 4-6 pm.
Here's a link to the Hotchkiss site for more information on the show:
