Stamford Downtown Announces ArtNORMOUS in Stamford Downtown Art in Public Places 2024 Coming in June!

ArtNORMOUS in Stamford Downtown presented by Reckson & Cappelli Organization in partnership with George Comfort & Sons will be on display in Stamford Downtown beginning in June. Art in Public Places is one of Stamford Downtown’s signature events which engages the public in the arts and enlivens Downtown streets and parks. Now in its 31st year, this public art program is one of the City’s premiere cultural events. Since its inception, Art in Public Places has grown in size and prominence, providing major works of outdoor sculpture for all to enjoy and drawing a regional audience to our City.

 

This year’s exhibit ArtNORMOUS in Stamford Downtown features seven larger than life bronze works of art from 4 renowned artists including: Joy Brown: One Leaning on Another, Two Together; Jim Rennert: Inner Dialogue, Timing, Walking the Tightrope; Bjørn Okholm Skaarup: Hippo Ballerina and Martha Pettigrew: Gossip. The Rennert, Brown and Skaarup sculptures are on loan from Cavalier Galleries of New York, Greenwich, Nantucket and Palm Beach (cavaliergalleries.com).

 

These ArtNORMOUS sculptures will be on display to be enjoyed by area residents and visitors through September, 2024. This exhibit demonstrates the extraordinary commitment to art and culture that is part of Stamford Downtown’s DNA. It is with deep appreciation that we recognize the presenting sponsors of this year’s sculptures: ArtNORMOUS is presented by Reckson and the Cappelli Organization in partnership with George Comfort & Sons. Many thanks go as well to our many other supporting sponsors.

 

This is an exhibit you can’t miss! Take a while to visit the sculptures and to take in all Stamford Downtown has to offer, from our eclectic restaurants to boutique shopping, to the beautiful flowers that grace the streets. Enjoy!
