The Summer Internship Program is sponsored by Karp Associates. A new specialty shop has opened at 70 Main St. in New Canaan, bringing technical running, cycling and ski apparel from independent and emerging brands to the former gallery space that sat vacant for several years. Alex Holmes, founder of The Amateur, said the store has been decades in the making. “It’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid to find a space with all of the endurance-focused sport brands that are driven by culture and performance and put them in one place,” Holmes said.
