The Carriage Barn Arts Center is located in a glorious historic stone building on the former Waveny Estate. This is a place with real history — the New Canaan Society for the Arts opened it in 1895. Unfortunately, the Society went dormant in the early 20^th century and the barn was shuttered until 1977, when a new group of local artists re-opened it. The barn’s centerpiece, the Betty Barker Gallery, hosts a half-dozen exhibitions every year. Three regulars include the juried photography exhibition and Spectrum, a showcase for many of the area’s best visual artists. The gallery is a well-lit and spacious location that is an awesome environment to showcase works, and the building and its gardens are a pleasure to explore. In addition, the recently-formed Waveny Park Arts Alliance is using the space to host free concerts and theatrical performances in the gallery. **Closed in the summer.
