“I so enjoy being a member of the Carriage Barn. The Carriage Barn prompts everyone to get out, talk and most of all see what is going on out in the world.   I’ve had wonderful opportunities to visit the Brant Foundation, be included in juried shows and participate in the Saturday talks.   The Carriage Barn a treasure to the art community, and it’s a privilege to be part of something so vibrant.” 
– Margaret Lewis, New Canaan

“The Carriage Barn is a unique place where we can see the current artistic works of people in this area.  The activities and events bring people with an interest in art together and offer opportunities to make connections, learn from each other, and better understand what is going on around us.”
– Bill Gore, Redding

“As a new artist, I’ve greatly appreciated the opportunity the Carriage Barn has given me to exhibit my works. The barn offers a beautiful setting for a gallery and the staff has been so welcoming. It’s been wonderful for me to be a part of their community and to attend the entertaining and inspiring events they present.” – Nancy Ferreria, New Canaan
