SUMMARY:Quilting Bee Demo with Peace by Piece: The Norwalk Community Quilt Project
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, December 6\, from 2-4 p.m.\, members of Peace by Piece: The Norwalk Community Quilt Project will host a live quilting bee demo in the Walsh Gallery\, inspired by the quilts on view in the exhibition Stitching Time. Participants will also be invited to contribute squares to our community quilting project (supplies provided).\nAbout the Exhibition: Stitching Time features 12 quilts created by men who are incarcerated in the Louisiana State Penitentiary\, also known as Angola Prison. These works of art\, and accompanying recorded interviews\, tell the story of a unique inside-outside quilt collaboration. The exhibition focuses our attention on the quilt creators\, people often forgotten by society when discussing the history of the U.S. criminal justice system. Also on view in the gallery will be Give Me Life\, a selection of works from women artists presently or formerly incarcerated at York Correctional Institution\, a maximum security state prison in Niantic\, CT\, courtesy of Community Partners in Action (CPA). The CPA’s Prison Arts program was initiated in 1978 and is one of the longest-running projects of its kind in the United States. Founded in 1875\, CPA is celebrating 150 years of working within the criminal justice system.\n* This event is a part of Fairfield University Explores 250 Years of the American Experiment: The Promise and Paradox *

SUMMARY:Performance: Sarah Hennies and Tristan Kasten-Krause
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 6\, 2025 | 7 pm\n$10 Members and Students; $15 General Admission \nJoin us for an intimate duo performance by composer and percussionist Sarah Hennies and bassist Tristan Kasten-Krause\, presented in connection with Zak Prekop: Durations. Hennies and Kasten-Krause will present a 40-60 minute set of experimental music within the Museum’s galleries\, offering a meditative\, resonant experience that blurs the boundaries between sound\, space\, and visual art. \nSarah Hennies is known for her immersive and durational performances that explore psychoacoustic phenomena\, queerness\, and the act of listening. Her duo with Kasten-Krause combines sensitivity and restraint\, crafting quiet\, expansive works that unfold gradually over time. \nThis event is presented in conjunction with Zak Prekop: Durations (on view through January 11\, 2026)\, an exhibition exploring visual rhythm\, repetition\, and the temporality of painting. It also marks the launch of Zak Prekop’s first museum publication. This fully illustrated\, 32-page softcover catalogue features bold new abstract paintings by the artist\, along with an interview between Prekop and curator Eduardo Andres Alfonso. The catalogue will be available for purchase at the event.
