The Drew Friedman Art Place at the Westport Book Shop

Westport Book Shop is partnering with the Drew Friedman Community Arts Center to feature different local artists' work at the Book Shop every month.

Our featured artist for April 2021 is Katherine Ross

Katherine Ross is a local artist and art teacher who works in a variety of mediums.  Her works on display at the Book Shop are floral watercolors, a perfect complement to the emergence of Spring.

Long-time Westporters might know Katherine as the artist who conceived the children’s mosaic wall at the Longshore pool area, a community art project completed in the year 2000 that incorporates the artwork of more than 1,000 fifth through eighth grade children from throughout the town.

​

Katherine has been teaching art to adults and children for 25 years, privately and publicly, including at the Katona Museum of Art, the Westport Art Center (now known as MoCA Westport), the Side By Side School in Norwalk, and the Bridge Academy in Bridgeport.  She specializes in portfolio development for college-bound high school students.  Katherine is a member of the Arts Advisory Committee of Westport, and has served on the Westport Cultural Arts Committee, co-chaired and served as town representative of the Art Smarts Program in the Westport public schools.  

Earlier art exhibitors at the Book Shop include Nina Bentley and Norm Siegel.  Click here for information about their exhibits.

Book Donations

We welcome, and are very grateful for, your donation of gently used books and other media.  Your donations help our Book Shop thrive!​

​

Unfortunately, we are not able to accept book donations at this time.  We suspended receipt of book donations earlier this winter, but expect to resume accepting donations again soon.  When we are able to begin accepting donations again, we will post the information here, and also send an email to our patrons.  To join our email list to receive this and other book sale notices, click here.

Note:  for as long as the coronavirus pandemic persists, we will be unable to accept donations at the Book Shop, because we do not have sufficient space at the shop to segregate and quarantine donated items before our volunteers handle them.    Donations, when they resume, will be made at the grey brick shed next to the big grey Book Donation Center in the Westport Library's upper parking lot.   For more information about what items we accept for donation, click here.
