The Stairwell Space @ AmFab Building

1069 Connecticut Avenue, Bridgeport, CT, 06607

The Stairwell Space is located in the entrance foyer of the American Fabrics Artist Studios building at 1069 Connecticut Ave in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Parking is available in the adjacent parking lot.

Our opening will coincide with the 18th-Annual Open Studios at AmFab, during Bridgeport Arts Trail!

Corridor for Ghosts and Heralds includes painting, fiber work, large-scale and small-scale drawing, printmaking, and sculpture. The exhibition explores panoramic or cyclical visions of time, composite narratives, and tangled systems. Featuring work by Logan Bishop, Kaelynne Hernandez, Anya Kotler, Amanda Lechner, Anam Rani, Kelsey Skordal, and Katrina Slavik.

A stairwell acts a dwelling in fractured time, where mid-step the body is suspended between destination and origin. It sits as a portal and architectural margin reserved for transience. With simultaneous views of where one has been and where one might go, the plural “now” collapse into a sedimentary cross-section. Each floor and step resembling the last, the vertical corridor causes slippage in one's perception of forward movement and stillness, or even regression. Like one’s sense of direction, cultural or personal objects once removed from their context become chameleonic ephemera.

November 8:

1. 10am - 5pm: Visit open studios throughout the American Fabrics Arts Building
2. 6 - 8 pm: Opening reception for our exhibition at the Stairwell Space, also in the AmFab Building

Neptune in June (formerly Ice Cream Social) is an artist-run, nomadic curatorial and community project, originally based in Port Chester, NY. It curates exhibitions locally and across the U.S., oers interdisciplinary events, and provides educational programs to schools throughout Westchester. It connects artists across geographic and professional silos who are making ambitious and personally meaningful work.

The Stairwell Space is a new contemporary art gallery in Bridgeport, CT fostering innovative contemporary art exhibitions and community engagement. The brainchild of Bridgeport-based artist Linda Colletta, it is situated in the historic American Fabrics Arts Building, inhabiting the building’s original entrance, a grand marble foyer that features a two-story spiral staircase. An alternative space, it aims to contextualize and champion the work of local, regional, and national artists, cultivating meaningful conversations about art and culture.
