Will you be there?

Through photography, David Sussan discovers a deeply personal connection to storytelling—unfiltered, instinctive, and entirely his own. Sussan embraces the freedom of capturing moments as they unfold, whether in the vast landscapes or the quiet intensity of a subject’s gaze. His work seeks to preserve the essence of everyday life with honesty and depth. Each portrait tells a story of survival, dignity, and the human experience in its purest form. RSVP: info@nwestgallery.com

Sussan’s landscapes are expansive and atmospheric, while his portraits capture raw emotion and personal narratives. He is particularly drawn to the simplicity and emotions of daily life—a passenger content, a child’s playful stare, or a sudden look of defiance. Travel has served as one of Sussan’s greatest teachers, leading him to Bangladesh and India to study portrait photography under the GMB Akash Institute of Photography. The proceeds of these workshops support basic education for underprivileged children, raising awareness and driving social change. Being part of this initiative has been both humbling and a defining chapter in his artistic story. We invite you to experience the world through David Sussan’s lens, embarking on a personal journey to witness in their unspoken truths.

Let’s give them the farewell they deserve—see you there!

An amazing new show is coming to ARTWorks, I hope you can join us for the reception on March 15, 4:30-6:30.

The term “biophilia” suggests an instinctive bond between human beings and other life forms in nature. In Biophilia, six women artists are inspired by a world that blurs the line between nature and the imagination. These artists work in a variety of 2D and 3D  art mediums in a range of materials, textures, and colors. Artists are Carol Bouyoucos, Julie Evans, Loren Eiferman, Heide Follin, Christina Massey, and Sui Park.

To celebrate the opening, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m., which will feature speakers like Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling, Riko’s executives and other local dignitaries, according to the spokesperson. Live music will be played and refreshments will be served during the event.

The franchise chain specializes in hot oil and thin-crust pizza. Among its pizza offerings are clam pizza, Nashville hot chicken pizza, white pizza, garden salad, hot oil pizza and Hawaiian pizza, according to its online menu. It also offers baked wings, desserts, craft beers, wines and specialty cocktails.

Jeremiah Chechik, artist, film director and photographer, is obsessed with the porous boundary between fact and fiction. The subtly investigative prints he creates explore our “post truth” reality, melding 21st century advanced digital design with traditional printing on Hahnemühle paper. The resulting images are more than just visually stunning and thoroughly aesthetic — they also raise key questions about the nature of truth and knowledge in our media-saturated age.

This exhibit explores the artist’s emotions through color across various media and genres. Each piece visually captures a distinct feeling or moment, using carefully crafted colors and subject matter to guide viewers on an introspective journey. Accompanied by brief descriptions, the artwork offers insights into the emotional landscape behind each creation.

“Color Me…” invites you to see and feel the artist’s inner world through the lens of color and form.

Join us for a special event in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

A screening of the Emmy-winning 2018 documentary King in the Wilderness

King in the Wilderness is a documentary film about Martin Luther King Jr. focusing on the final two years of his life leading up to his assassination on April 4, 1968.

The film includes some never-before-seen footage of interviews with some of those closest to King interspersed with historical archives during a period of his life. In addition to upsetting both President Lyndon Johnson and the FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, as well as numerous other opposition groups, and despite King’s own self-doubts as he was coming to terms with his possible death, he refused to back away from the civil rights and anti-war challenges of his times.

The film focuses on events in King’s life and the civil rights movement such as the Chicago Freedom Movement, the James Meredith march, the anti-Vietnam War protests and King’s “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence” speech, the 1967 riots, preparation for the Poor People’s Campaign, the Memphis sanitation strike, the “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, and King’s assassination and funeral. Among King’s colleagues and friends interviewed in the documentary are Bernard Lafayette, Andrew Young, Diane Nash, Harry Belafonte, John Lewis, Dorothy Cotton, Joan Baez, Xernona Clayton, Jesse Jackson, Mary Lou Finley, Cleveland Sellers, and C. T. Vivian.

Join us after the screening for a post-show talkback with one of the film’s Executive Producers, Trey Ellis. Ellis is also the playwright of Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Swing, which he directed as our September 2024 Script in Hand playreading.

This event is FREE to the public and part of the 19th Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration in conjunction with The Westport Library.
