Picking Favorites: New Haven Open Studios

On Sunday, October 16, Willie Scaife and I got a chance to check out some art through the City Wide Open Studios in New Haven. 

There was a ton of talent filling the old New Haven Armory and it was blast to walk and talk with all of the artists in attendance. 

As I visit with these artists, I asked them to choose their favorite piece of work they had on display and to give a brief statement explaining why it was their favorite. Click on the photos below to go to each artist's personal web page to see more of their work!
