Grounded in the belief that art is vital to the spirit, creativity and wholeness of human beings, the mission of Silvermine Arts Center is to cultivate, promote and encourage growth through the arts; to showcase and serve artists; and to foster arts education and appreciation opportunities for the greater community.
Silvermine is a learning community on four scenic acres in New Canaan, Connecticut. We are dedicated to creativity and growth through the making and understanding of the visual arts. Silvermine Arts Center promotes artistic experimentation and growth through the Guild of Artists; courses and workshops in ceramics, sculpture, photography, new media, painting, drawing, jewelry and more. Our classes, lectures, gallery and community outreach offer a full spectrum of opportunities to creative individuals of all levels and ages. The facilities feature fully equipped art studios and galleries. Silvermine Arts Center's programs and activities draw 15,000 artists and patrons annually to this historic section of Fairfield County dedicated to the fine arts.
