June brings Ellen Mueller to the Weir Farm Artist-in-Residence program. Much of Ellen's artistic practice embraces contrast, both visually and conceptually. Her current project is a series of intimate-scale multimedia drawings and collages focusing on ideas of survival featuring imagery of tasks and tools useful to survivalists throughout time. Co-sponsored by Weir Farm Art Center and Weir Farm National Historic Site and presented by Wilton Library.  More info & register
