Six local interior design professionals each chose a Metro Art Studios artist to feature in an interior design vignette in Crown Gallery showing off their design aesthetic and style while highlighting how well fine art and interior design complement each other. The exhibit is comprised of 10’ wide displays of fine art with furniture, wallpaper, paint, and decor in room sets to inspire and delight visitors.
Join us for a gala reception for the opening of this year’s exhibit with ticket proceeds going to support Mercy Learning Center in Bridgeport whose mission is to provide free literacy and life skills education to low-income women in the greater Bridgeport area using a holistic approach within a compassionate, supportive environment. MLC’s programs focus on empowering and providing dignity, economic self-sufficiency, and hope to their students. We are delighted to support this transformative organization. We are also pleased to announce our 2026 media sponsor, Moffly Media.
$50 advance tickets include catered small bites, wine, cocktails, and drinks, and live music. The artist studios will also be open and guests are invited to explore our entire three story renovated factory in the South End of Bridgeport near the Amphitheater and Brewport, just off route 95 and route 8. Please come and support our neighbors at Mercy Learning Center.
