You have another day to make an appointment to see the work of Stamford artist Benice Horowitz and designer Roderick Shade, who have collaborated on a new exhibition, “Art + Design = Magic.”
On display are upholstered chairs (featuring Horowitz’ painted fabric), stenciled wall painting and other acrylic paintings. The show opened this past weekend and continues by appointment until Thursday, Dec. 6. Horowitz has been in numerous shows and has served as a member in the New York Society of Women Artists, Stamford Art Association and Silvermine Arts Guild. Shade, who is based in the New York area, has had his work featured in many different publications and on air.
The exhibition takes place at 202 Lynam Road, Stamford. For information, or to set up an appointment call 203-329-9179 or 917-696-9107.
Downtown Bridgeport was rocking Tuesday night as Neil Young played to arena-packed crowd, some of whom came as far away as Maine and Maryland to see the guitar god perf0rm.
The show, at Webster Bank Arena, closed Young’s first tour since 2004 with his on-and-off again group, Crazy Horse. The singer/songwriter and his band were joined by art-punk goddess Patti Smith and Everest.
Tickets were general admission, which is rare for Webster Bank Arena shows. Arena spokesman Michael Foley said people started lining up around 2:30 p.m. to get the best spots in front of the stage.
