Art for Haiti Opening Lures Middletowners to Hartford's Artspace
Paintings by city residents Paul Baldassini and Pierre Sylvain, photographs by David Bauer and world music courtesy of deejay and WESU-FM General Manager Ben Michael made for a vibrant, diversely artistic evening.
The opening of the massive "Art for Haiti" exhibit drew a full house of art lovers to Hartford's grand Artspace Saturday night, with WESU-FM general manager Ben Michael spinning world music, a spectacularly generous cupcake arrangement from Middletown's NoRa Cupcake Co. and many others — all there to support a worthy charity, Movin' With The Spirit.
Middletown and other Connecticut artists whose work is featured through January are: Andria Alex, Paul Baldassini (oil paintings of tractors), David Bauer (photographs of sunsets along the Connecticut River), Andres Chaparro, Robert Charles Hudson, Phil Ouelette, Joyce Senesac and Pierre Sylvain (cubism).
