Arts and Heritage

      Wethersfield Academy for the Arts is pursuing an arts and heritage project with local homeowners.  Ten artists will paint the ancient homes of ten residents for display in a small booklet.  The paintings will be combined with a description of the structures and some history about them, along with interesting tales.
      The picture below was taken at a preliminary meeting where artists met homeowners.

Stairs

   These stairs were crafted out of white oak and poplar by master carpenter, Peter Zambryzcki.  They will take the earnest student of fine art to the second floor of the barn where students will apprentice with professional artists and learn how to paint like the old masters.
