Secret Norwalk Juried Art Exhibtion

History is constantly being made and while it is cleverly preserved in places we don’t often visit, we are intrigued by the stories that can emanate from a niche, a nook, a pass, or a dwelling. The Norwalk Historical Society is on the hunt for photographs, paintings, drawings, models, collages, shadow boxes, etc. representing a special secret place in Norwalk for this juried art exhibition.

• Opening Reception & Awards: June 21, 2013, 6:00-8:00pm
• Exhibition:  June 20 – July 20, 2013

About Mark Ancona
Mark Ancona’s wine palate was initiated at an early age at the left hand seat of his great grandfather Telo, during the multi-generational family gatherings. After receiving a degree in Journalism at the  University of North Carolina, he worked with renowned importer Frederick Wildman peddling Burgundy and Rhône wines, amongst other beauties, to top restaurants and retail establishments in the Hamptons. He later moved to London where he received a Diploma from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust.  He has since attained the prestigious Master of Wine title.  During that time, Mark and his friend John Atkinson, started an import company specializing in Rhône and Alasce wines called Winesearch, Inc., a moniker that still exits as the corporate name of his retail venture Fountainhead Wines and Distillations.
