Benefit Art Sale in Scenic Cornwall, CT

The legendary Labor Day Weekend Benefit Art Sale returns to The Cornwall Library this year, on Labor Day weekend only. It opens with a Cocktail Reception at the Library on Friday, August 29, and continues through Monday September 1. Everyone is welcome. 

There will be original works for sale by an extraordinary range of notable artists, including Amedeo Modigliani, Enrique Chagoya, Marc Simont, Leonard Baskin, Ruth Gannett, Robert Andrew Parker, Nicole Eisenman, and R. H. Quaytman, among many others. 

Artwork will run from the antique to the contemporary, jazzy and colorful to classic black and white, realistic to abstract. There will be prints, watercolors, posters, photographs and paintings, with an occasional small three-dimensional piece. All work will be documented to the extent feasible and be very reasonably priced, starting at $20 and running up into much more.

We are also featuring for sale a selection of vintage photographs, paintings and posters from the collection of the late artist Duncan Hannah (1952-2022). 

As works are purchased, new pieces take their place, refreshing the show every day. Come search for a treasure, a gift, or something to enliven your walls—there will be something here for everyone.
