We'll celebrate the Flora centennial with a major fine art exhibition at the
Silvermine Arts Center, Norwalk CT, from September 20 – Nov 2, 2014. The exhibit, curated by Irwin Chusid, co-archivist of the Jim Flora collection, will feature dozens of rarely seen original paintings and a handful of new prints, most never previously exhibited. Flora and his wife Jane were members of the legendary
Silvermine Guild of Artists, so this exhibit represents a homecoming of sorts.
