Kent, CT has long been known as a destination for art aficionados. Continuing in that tradition, Kent Village Barns is home to two Litchfield County’s most prominent galleries–the Morrison Gallery, and the Ober Gallery–and is a close walking distance to several others. Here, a roundup of must-hit galleries for an art-filled stroll near the Housatonic.
Start your walk at the The Morrison Gallery at 8 Old Barn Road, Kent, CT (pictured below). This 7,000 square foot contemporary art gallery is one of New England’s largest, and a Litchfield County sensation. “The scale, the architecture, the openness and the natural light are perfect for showcasing the most monumental of paintings and sculptures,” says owner Billy Morrison.
Next on your walk, visit the Ober Gallery, 6 North Main Street, Kent, CT (pictured below). Founded in 2006 by Rob Ober, the gallery shows contemporary artists from New York, New England, and Russia, and has a reputation for showing important twentieth century and contemporary Russian art.
When in the area, be sure to stop by the Kent Arts Association at 21 S. Main Street and the Heron American Craft Gallery at 16 Main Street.
