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 first featured artist is Nina Bentley

Nina Bentley was born in Brooklyn and raised in Great Neck, New York. In 1962 she graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in English, later studying art at the Brooklyn Museum Art School and Chelsea College of Arts, London. She moved around the world with her husband, then an international banker, living in Bologna, Frankfurt, London, Zurich, Santiago and Caracas, before finally settling in Westport, Connecticut.  A mother of three, her view of life has been molded by “a lifetime of changing roles -- wife, mother, copywriter, window designer, art center director.” Bentley began exhibiting in 1965 and has enjoyed numerous solo exhibitions, in the U.S. and abroad, since 1978. An inveterate collector of stuff, Bentley makes art from anything and everything. She deliberately juxtaposes objects whose scale, textures, or categories of use combine to make statements, at once biting and humorous, about the human condition.

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.
