An evening of guided speed networking for professionals hosted by matchmaker Jill Dunn.

Darien New Canaan Lifestyle and the Carriage Barn Arts Center are opening the gallery doors for an evening built around one thing: actually meeting other people.

Following the spring iris and summer zinnia classes, we’re excited to offer an all-new workshop with artist Sarah Crossman. The fall-inspired botanical subject will be a red-capped fly agaric mushroom.

Perfect for all skill levels -- participants will learn step-by-step how to create a finished painting from the provided reference image. Sarah will demonstrate essential watercolor techniques, including washes, wet-on-wet, and dry brush, offering plenty of individual guidance throughout the session.

Join us for a free family drop-in of Halloween themed crafts, stories, and hands-on fun for all ages, presented in partnership with The New Canaan Library.

Celebrate the Annual Member Show and enjoy the art in the gallery. Miss Rebecca will share a special story! After the story, families will gather to create their own Halloween inspired craft.

Join Woodway Blooms for a mindful and relaxing morning of flowers and arranging at the Carriage Barn. We'll choose a piece from the gallery's current Member Show as inspiration and use it as a starting point for our own arrangements.

This is the first in a series of seasonal art and healing events in collaboration with Welltress, a modern healing house founded by New Canaan local, Tara Turner Lockhart.
