The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum to present a new exhibition on wealth and worth in collaboration with The Artists Collective of Westport
The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, in collaboration with The Artists Collective of Westport, will present, Striking Gold: Artists on Wealth and Worth, a group exhibition open to the public now through January 4, 2026, with a reception on Nov. 6, 5-7 p.m.
This art show, juried by Cybele Maylone, Executive Director of the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, will be held at 295 West Avenue, Norwalk, CT. The artists invited to exhibit include: Robin Babbin, Thomas Bernsten, Martha Bloom, Miggs Burroughs, Trace Burroughs, Eric Chiang, Peggy Dembicer, Laure Dunne, Ellen Gordon, Deborah Howland-Murray, Nash Hyon, Natasha Karpinskaia, Lucy Krupenye, Nancy Moore, Lina Morielli, Julie O’Connor, Steven Parton, Elizabeth Petrie-Devoll, Dorothy Robertshaw, Dolores R. Santoliquido, Gay Schempp, Ellen Schiffman, Karen Schlansky, Norm Siegel, Suan Taylor Murray, and Gregg Ziebell.
The exhibition invites artists to reflect on the complex interplay of material possessions and their impact on daily life—then and now. During the Gilded Age, immense prosperity fueled architectural marvels, cultural innovation, and ambitious dreams, while creating vast inequalities. The iconic Lockwood-Mathews Mansion, a product of that era, serves as a tangible representation of ambition, ingenuity, and creativity.
