Partnerships & Community

Over the years we have built a strong following through the work we have done creating high quality exhibits and enriching the lives of residents through our community outreach arm. The benefits to the community include:
Museum quality art exhibits in a city without a dedicated art museum
Cultural events centered around artistic expression such as the annual Open Studios
Free art education through workshops and classes for children and adults
Community events such as our annual drawing workshops which use art as a means of bringing people together
Off-site exhibits that bring art into other areas of the community
Artistic expression supports and promotes a culture of inclusion
why partner?
The Loft Artists Association is continually seeking community partners to further our mission of bringing art into the community. Recent partnerships with The Ballet School of Stamford have enriched our drawing workshop. Ballet School students in costume have posed for sessions in our galleries providing the public with opportunities to draw from life and experience what it might have been like to be Edgar Degas drawing in the ballet schools of Paris. These partnerships foster collaboration and creative growth and enhance the type of events and activities we can offer to the community.
