| Interactive Arts Series Wilton artists share their talents and thoughts with small interested groups in intimate settings. A wide variety of the visual and performing arts are covered in these programs which include demonstrations, discussions and recitals to show the artists at work. Directory of Artists and Showcases The directory helps Wilton artists gain a wider audience, helps them make contact with each other, and helps the public enjoy more of the art resources Wilton has to offer. First published in 1981, the directory lists artists in architecture, crafts, dance, music, painting, photography, sculpture, theater, and writing. It further identifies those who teach. Also listed are galleries, exhibition spaces and performance spaces. Arts Festivals Held to celebrate all the arts for diverse audiences, these festivals have enriched our town with juried art shows, extensive craft fairs, indoor and outdoor concerts and dance presentations. Arts Council Newsletter Published monthly, it provides highlights of art events in Wilton and vicinity. Sent free of charge to all members. Also available at selected locations in town. Careers in Arts Seminars Developed to encourage and inform Wilton High School students who might want to pursue careers in the arts. Successful men and women from various fields - painting, writing, music, etc. - conduct meetings on their specialties. Local artists who present to younger age school groups and even preschoolers would be welcome.
