We are also in the process of preparing for our second annual Newtown Arts Festival, Sept. 20 & 21, 2013 at Fairfield Hills, Newtown. We would appreciate your experience in helping to plan, advise or volunteer for this event, if you are interested.

If you are still interested in finding out more about our commission, you are welcome to attend a regular meeting, which are open to the public. Our meetings are typically on the 4th Tuesday of each month, though this month we are meeting on Dec. 18, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. instead of on Christmas day, at the Newtown Municipal Center in Fairfield Hills, 3 Primrose Street, in the large board room at the far end of the building.

Also, if you would like to get involved with the Newtown Arts Festival (planning, advising, or volunteering), please contact me directly. If you are an artist and would be interested in showing or selling your works at our next Newtown Arts Festival, September 20 & 21, 2013 at Fairfield Hills, please contact Stacey Olszewski at staceyolszewski@yahoo.com. She is our artist vendor coordinator. You can find all the info about this festival at http://www.newtownartsfestival.com, including our art contest for the annual festival poster.

So interested in participating on Commission if there is still a space. I was very active for decades in Masachusetts cultural council mission. I’ve managed exhibitions and conferences for the state – and represented Massachusetts in Washington as well as other venues across the country.
I truly support the arts – and am extremely interested in the future of the arts in Newtown and surrounding areas. – Ival Stratford-Kovner (Bethel resident)
PS Will have a show at Newtown Municipal Center in April 2012 (postponed from “Storm Alfred” – from my NYC Exhibition “Horse Drawn”).

I am the former owner of the Center for New Media and the Arts, which was located on the second floor of The Opera House building at 182 Greenwood Avenue in Bethel, CT. Subsequently I served as the Artistic Director for the Palace Theatre.

I would be interested in talking to someone about your efforts to bring the arts to the Newtown Community. Bravo! It’s always good to see a community come together to support the arts, and I believe I could be helpful should you need and want my assistance. My website (which I built) is: http://www.stephensnow.net. My phone number is: 203-788-2378.

I would be very interested in talking to the Commission leaders.

Wishing you all the best.

Sincerely,

Stephen Snow
