The Carriage Barn Arts Center (the home of the New Canaan Society for the Arts) and The Rotary Club of New Canaan announce a Wine and Cheese Tasting Fundraiser Event. The event will take place on Saturday, June 14th, 6 – 8pm. and will feature wines from New Canaan Wine Merchants, cheeses from The Darien Cheese Shop and a variety of sandwiches from Connecticut Sandwich Company, New Canaan. Event tickets are currently available for purchase online at carriagebarn.org or contact the Carriage Barn Arts Center at 203 972 1895 to purchase tickets.

A portion of the proceeds from this event will be dedicated to supporting the Carriage Barn Arts Center and the Rotary Club’s End Polio Campaign. Since 1985, Rotary International, along with our partners, The World Health Organization, the Gates Foundation and national governments throughout the world, has immunized 2.5 billion children and reduced polio cases by more than 99 percent: from 350,000 per year to a handful. During this fundraiser, the Carriage Barn Arts Center will be exhibiting Photo/synthesis, a collection of photographs by 15 local artists.
The Rotary Club of New Canaan is an organization of business and professional leaders who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace. The Rotary Club of New Canaan embraces the Rotary motto “Service Above Self” through its numerous service projects during the year.

The mission of the New Canaan Society for the Arts, Inc. is to promote the visual and performing arts, and to enrich the community through exhibitions, education, and cultural experiences, and to operate the Carriage Barn Arts Center.
