Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut to Partner with Ridgefield Playhouse in Support of Emerging Artist Series

“I would say to an aspiring artist, “You are already an artist – it is all there within you right now.” To an emerging artist I would say: “what exactly are you emerging from?” – sculptor David Parfitt

The Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut is partnering with The Ridgefield Playhouse in support of the Emerging Artist Series, a new series that is specifically designed to give up-and-coming musicians the opportunity to headline their own shows. “We’re essentially offering musicians that significant transition from ‘support act’ for nationally known musicians to becoming headliners on their own,” says Allison Stockel, Executive Director of the Ridgefield Playhouse. “The Ridgefield Playhouse is excited to partner with the Cultural Alliance of Western Connecticut to introduce like-minded people to new musical acts that they may not have discovered on their own. It’s the arts community helping one another, while connecting with each other in a relaxed fun setting.”

This great after-work event is the perfect setting to meet-up with co-workers and friends, and to enjoy a night of music, nibbles, and drinks.

    gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
