Ridgefield Art Gallery
In the Fall of 2025 Ridgefield Floral & Gift shop announced their relocation and offered the Ridgefield Art Association (RAA) a portion of their new building to create an art gallery. Five local artists were chosen to be on this project team, and WOW was it a lot of work! Eva Kelley, RAA Board Secretary, lead us, with Rose Jubb, Kathy Winters, Merrilee Asla Lee, and Kaylin Rose (members) all pitching in on planning and execution as one happy Gallery Management Team.
Neighbors, friends, spouses, and strangers all combined their efforts and donations. The team’s planning paid off! In one month they had secured funding, written by-laws, made a website, and starting marketing.
The next month they completed construction. It was fast. It was tough, but they pulled the best from each other and gave it their all, even over the holidays. The five artists on the management team has grown to ten with the addition of additional member artists: Diana Lynn Zolotko, Nicole Given, Chris Bidleman, Lori O’Haver, and Molly Barnes.
The RAA now has a gallery! You can follow along on instagram @ridgefieldartgallery
Thanks to the MANY wonderful friends and RAA members who cheered on the team, fed them, coffeed them, and kept them warm. Also, an enormous thank you goes to the opportunity and hospitality to @ridgefieldfloralandgifts We are so grateful to be under your roof!
