Silvermine Arts Center is an exceptional cultural hub — truly one of New Canaan’s most interesting and diverse places to feed your head.
Sculptor Solon Borglum moved to the area in 1908 and just a decade later the Silvermine Guild of Artists was founded. The Guild now consists of over 300 professional artists and five gallery spaces, as well as a School of Art that passes skills and concepts along to both amateurs and professionals. The Arts Center is one of Fairfield County’s most-visited cultural institutions, with a gorgeous 4 1/2 acre campus and excellent facilities. The classes presented here are diverse, ranging from traditional mediums like painting and sculpture to photography and mixed media.
The Center also hosts an Art Partners program that places working artists into elementary school classrooms around the New Canaan area. Even if you’re not looking to take a class, don't miss the impressive work on display in the galleries.
