February brings Weir Farm's Artist-in-Residence Hannah Sklar to Wilton Library. By combining representational forms and imagery associated with gender, Sklar acts to implement her personal vision of an undefined spectrum of beauty and corporal strength using materials such as clay, paint, graphite and discarded sport objects to create tense assemblages. Co-sponsored by Weir Farm Art Center and Weir Farm National Historic Site and presented by Wilton Library.  More info & register
