The Stairwell Space - Grand Opening


  • American Fabrics Arts 1069 Connecticut Avenue Bridgeport, CT, 06607 United States (map)

We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of,  The Stairwell Space.  TSS is an artist-led, contemporary gallery located in original entrance of Bridgeport's historic American Fabrics Arts Building. The space was recently renovated and features a grand marble foyer with a two story spiral staircase, 30 ft ceilings  and the original 115 year old iron railings. Through exhibitions and artist forward programming, the gallery aims to draw national arts attention to Connecticut and regional artists, while investing in arts education for local, underserved youth.

The Stairwell Space is the brainchild of Connecticut-based artist Linda Colletta, and generously funded by our wonderful landlord, Jason Friedland of Westrock Development

Experience the gallery and join us for the opening of the inaugural exhibition "I Do Not Know What It Is I Am Like," curated by Terri C. Smith and Linda Colletta, during the 2024 Bridgeport Art Trail.

Opening a reception on Nov. 7th from 6-8PM 
Gallery hours from 10AM - 5PM Nov 9 & 10 during Open Studios Weekend.
