Walking Each Other Home: Exploring Where We Belong and How We Find It
Guilford Art Center
Inspired by the Ram Dass quote, “We’re all just walking each other home,” this exhibition invites artists to reflect on the many definitions of home. Home may exist as a physical space, or as something we build together through care, connection, and shared experience. Artists are encouraged to explore how a sense of “home” is experienced; through the places we inhabit, the history we carry, and the people who shape our lives.

Piece by Piece
Westport Library
Piece by Piece is a 6-foot high by 8-foot wide installation based upon an original work of art broken up into a grid of 48 square sections, with each panel having been created by a different member of the Artists Collective of Westport. Without knowing the identity of the featured artwork, each artist was given a printout of one of the 12” x 12” sections from the mural, and a blank panel onwhich to create their interpretation of it in any medium. The end result of this project is an entertaining exercise in community, creativity, and collaboration.
