I have spent quite some time visiting
galleries in the East Coast, and of all the places to explore art, Sorelle
Gallery offers an eclectic collection exhibiting works of over 50 artists from around
the world.
Sorelle Gallery is located in the pristine and charming
downtown area of New Canaan, CT. Surrounded by unique
boutiques, coffee shops and arguably the best restaurants in all of
Fairfield County, the gallery and its surroundings can make for
an unforgettable art experience. With just a five minute walk from
the Metro North train station, you'll stroll through Elm St. where you'll
encounter an array of visitors who come to take advantage of New
Canaan's many beautiful features, including The Glass House.
Sorelle steals the show... the walls are filled with a perfect
mix and match of texture induced by traditional and modern art. Whatever type of art you enjoy, the gallery
will have something for you to fall in love with. In addition to paintings, the gallery exhibits photography by the reputable Kimerlee Curyl, unique mirror art by Alina B, stoneware by Regis Brodie, driftwood sculptures by Rita Dee, ceramics by the talented Jill Fishon-Kovachick and aluminum works by Rob Sorenson.
In addition to the lineup of impressive artists being showcased,
the Sorelle team welcomes its art-lovers with much excitement. They are
extremely knowledgeable of the works exhibited and quite the talented
artist themselves. See a piece you love while visiting the gallery? Wonder
how it would look in your home? One of the gallery's many unique features
is to have a painting digitally imposed on your wall, offering a
realistic visual of what it would look like should you purchase it! Thirsty?
Swing by the refreshment table for a cup of fresh lemon water,
coffee, tea and or a glass of wine... yes, please!

There are hundreds of galleries in the East Coast that carry
impressive artwork, however, Sorelle Gallery stands out for much more
than its collection. There have been many times when I have walked through the
doors of a gallery I was excited to visit, and barely stayed because the
vibe was off, the mood was unwelcoming and the staff uninterested. At
Sorelle, they are respectful of your private space while making you
feel right at home. It may not be the biggest gallery in Fairfield County, but
it is certainly one of the most welcoming, treating it's art hunters'
(such as myself) with as much appreciation and value as the pieces hung
on the walls.

Arted-out? Great, time to eat!
Did you know art will increase your appetite? It's the
truth; it's also true that I will find any excuse possible to eat! So, you
should too! Once you have fed your mind, you must feed your body. Rosie is located on Elm Street, just a
short 3 minute walk from the gallery. There, you will find one of
the best avocado toasts you've ever tried! As it suggests on the cover of its menu, when you "TASTE THE LOVE," you will certainly want to come back for more.
What are you
waiting for?
Get your art-loving-self to
Sorelle!
