The Colorblends Spring Garden is open from April 1 – May 7, 2023, seven days a week, dawn to dusk.
The House/Gallery will be open from April 1 to May 7, 2023, Tuesday through Sunday, 10am to 4pm. We are excited to announce that we will once again be partnering with Ursa Gallery from downtown Bridgeport to host the art gallery in the House.
Please also join us for the Gallery Reception on Saturday, April 22 from 2pm to 5pm as we celebrate the artists featured in the pop-up gallery.
URSA Gallery is excited to present its newest show, Circadian Rhythm. The featured art elucidates how our physical, mental, and behavioral changes are dependent on cycles that assert our indivisibility to what we deem Nature. Visitors will be greeted by Colorblends House & Spring Garden’s flowering buds to illustrate the circadian clock’s vital role in individual and collective emergence. The featured artwork will unearth this shared emergence—what it means to come to light into the world of the living and be collectively bound through the certain uncertainty of transition.
The opening for Circadian Rhythm will be on April 1st and the opening reception will be on April 22nd from 3pm - 6pm. Circadian Rhythm will include a poetry reading on April 29th at 4pm, further emphasizing what it means to be part of a collective. The closing will be on May 7th. This will take place at 893 Clinton Ave, Bridgeport, CT 06604 at Colorblends House & Spring Garden.
BACKGROUND
Each spring, visitors to the Colorblends House & Spring Garden can stroll through an evolving display of color as snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils, tulips and other spring-flowering bulbs come into bloom. Design ideas and creative blends abound in this intimate garden, which is a collaboration between Bridgeport-based Colorblends Wholesale Flowerbulbs and distinguished Dutch garden designer Jacqueline van der Kloet.
The garden and restored 1903 Colonial Revival mansion are at 893 Clinton Avenue in Bridgeport’s Stratfield Historic District. Access is easy from I95, the Merritt Parkway and US Route 1, and street parking is plentiful.
