New Canaan Library joins with the Stamford Museum & Nature Center and the Loft Artists Association to present a unique and exceptional exhibition, John Singer Sargent...Accepts with Pleasure, exploring and highlighting the legacy of this American master painter. The exhibition's opening reception offers the rare opportunity to view Portrait of J.P. Wolff, an original Sargent generously on loan for the evening from the Stamford Museum's permanent collection.

The reception and a Q&A with Stamford Museum curator, Kirsten Brophy, will be held on Saturday, October 15 from 4 - 6 p.m. Adding an additional note of beauty to the reception will be a musical performance by classical guitarist Francesco Barone.
