Hartford Public Library opens ARTWALK, a new exhibition space in Downtown Hartford. The ARTWALK will draw from a diverse community of artists to showcase the creative spirit of Metro Hartford. The inaugural show features Hartford native Chet Kempczynski. Kempczynski attended the Hartford Art School and the Paier School of Art, Connecticut, where he studied with the realist painter Ken Davies. Over the last four decades, he has exhibited extensively in the U.S., Spain and France. This retrospective show captures the transitions in his work from small and precise still life images in oil to oil monotypes that capture the exterior and interior light, color and essence of landscapes. The ARTWALK is made possible through the generosity of our donors, including the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation Fund at Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
