SUMNER MCKNIGHT CROSBY JR. GALLERY
Formerly Small Space Gallery

Sumner McKnight Crosby Jr. Gallery, a program of the Arts Council of Greater New Haven, is located at the Arts Council offices at 70 Audubon Street, 2nd floor. The gallery features regional artists in group and thematic shows. Hours are 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday.


CURRENT EXHIBITION
January 20 to March 2, 2012


The Arts Council of Greater New Haven is pleased to present Sound Influence, Part II, in the Sumner McKnight Crosby Jr. Gallery, 70 Audubon St., 2nd floor. The exhibition is curated by local painter and muralist Katro Storm and will be on view during business hours (M-F, 9am to 5pm) from January 20, 2012 through March 2, 2012. A public reception is scheduled for Friday, February 3, from 5-7 pm.

Katro Storm, the curator, is a prolific artist who delivers meaningful and thoughtful portraits of inspirational leaders and influential city landmarks. A native of New Haven, a former student and teacher at the Educational Center for the Arts, he is a community mentor who continually seeks to create new work and inspire others to do the same. “It’s the challenge of creating something out of nothing that makes it exciting,” states Storm. “To push myself to a new level each time I paint.” With Sound Influence, Part II, the exhibition examines, as Storms states, “how important sound is to creating art.”

The art on display manifests very different responses to sounds that are universal. The exhibit reflects the “sound” environment in which each artist works in, be it the sound surrounding the space they work in or the music they listen to while creating. There are also artists who transfer their visual interpretation of music onto canvas, much like choreographers who compose a dance piece based on a specific piece of music.
