Tune in today, Monday, June 13 at noon, for our live interview show on WPKN 89.5FM, or wpkn.org, with Robin Panovka, Duvian Montoya and Lorena Sferlazza on The Norwalk Art Space (TNAS).
TNAS is celebrating its first anniversary as a 5-star arts center that promotes local artists, offers free art classes to high-schoolers and provides a welcoming space for the public to enjoy the arts and music. It is located in a beautifully renovated Christian Science Church adjacent to Norwalk’s Mathews Park.
TNAS celebrates its first anniversary with a gala June 23, has just signed an agreement for the Sono Collection mall to host an extension gallery, has just received an Award of Merit from PreservationCT for the quality of the renovation of this historic building, and the visionary founder of TNAS, Alexandra Korry, is receiving a posthumous ACE Award from the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County this Wednesday June 15, at its ACE Awards Breakfast. Alexandra died shortly before the Norwalk Art Space was opened, and the building, ADK House, is named in her honor.
Hear Alexandra’s husband and partner in this venture, Robin Panovka speak about the journey to create the Space and how he judges its success; Duvian Montoya, Artistic and Education Director speak about the impact of the first year of TNAS on himself and the community; and hear Lorena Sferlazza, one of the first four “Resident Artists,” who taught Norwalk high-schoolers in exchange for a studio in the building speak about its impact on herself as an artist, her students, and the community.
