American Fabric Arts Building to Hold 13th Annual Open Studios Event

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - Nov. 1, 2018 - PRLog -- In its 13th year, American Fabrics Arts Building (AFA) Open Studios showcases over 25 artists in their studios where the creative process happens. Held in a renovated factory building where linen and lace were once manufactured, the event has become a destination for collectors, interior designers, and art lovers alike.

AFA's diverse group of artists are engaged in painting, printmaking, sculpture, quilting, jewelry, photography, ceramics, textiles, design, mixed media, and more. Every year we welcome new artist tenants, lending a fresh perspective to the event. Many artists will be offering affordable art for sale. Denyse Schmidt Quilts, Jocelyn Braxton Armstrong Ceramics, Brechin Morgan, Janet Slom, and Ulla Surland will be holding their annual studio sales.

In an effort to give back to the community we love, for the sixth year we are supporting the Bridgeport Rescue Mission (BRM). The mission serves those in need, feeds the hungry, shelters the homeless, and helps people conquer drug and alcohol addictions. AFA will be serving as a drop-off point for their Thanksgiving Stuff-ATruck event, giving patrons the opportunity to donate food and coats for local families in need.

Lastly, the artists of AFA have joined together once again to donate an assortment of small works for the AFA Collector's Raffle. A fun combination of art lover goodies will be raffled for $5 a chance, with all proceeds going to BRM! There will be food trucks in the east parking lot to serve our patrons from 10 am to 5 pm each day. Music and participatory performances will offer fun for the whole family! Ample onsite free parking and handicapped access.
