It was a joyful family bonding time, creating a childhood informed by the greats in the world of art. The lending art collection, which began in 1965, has grown to 220 pieces ranging from lithographs to watercolors and acrylics and more.

The Greenwich Library celebrates this practice in a “Retrospective: 44 Years of Lending Art” which will coincide with the Friends Friday Films showing of Sketches of Frank Gehry.

Both the reception and film are FREE and open to the public.
