Loving Vincent Sold Out! Thank you!
Westport Film Series
Thank you for your support of the arts! When SCA was originally granted nonprofit status our mission was to increase the understanding and appreciation of visual arts in our community. Over the years we have never faltered in our educational mission—offering programs, lectures, children’s activities, hands-on demonstrations, and artists talks.
In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we proudly partnered with Westport Cultural Council to present the film Loving Vincent—the world’s first fully painted feature-length film—as yet another way to celebrate visual arts. This ground-breaking narrative film brings the paintings of van Gogh to life through the laborious effort of 125 professional artists- including local artist and SCA member Kat Knutsen– who hand-painted every one of the movie’s 65,000 frames. The event was set for Wednesday August 16, and Kat agreed to offer a post screening Q&A.
The event is now sold out. It is clear that we live in a region that truly appreciates the varied opportunities to experience and enjoy visual arts. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your enthusiastic response to this very special screening.

What our visitors are saying:
“Love these open studio events. We appreciate all the efforts on everyone’s part, & love interacting with the artists, learning more about their perspectives, & buying from them directly.”“It was a very enjoyable experience to see the artists and their work in their home studios and setting, to meet them and see in part what inspires them.”
