On Saturday night I participated in “For Artists Only,” a networking event for local artists organized by The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. The Aldrich, located in bucolic Ridgefield, Connecticut, tends toward thought provoking, New York-centric exhibitions, but through their Radius program, they try to help regional artists build careers. I tweetcasted the event live as 17 regional artists each made excellent five-minute presentations about their work. Here are my Tweets, with links (when available) to each artist’s work.

15. Paula Billups: Painterly realism, lonely enigmatic imagery, austere palette.
14. Lannie Hart: Steel, resin, pretty, grrl power. Doll-like figures explore. art history, myths, iconic imagery.
