Cheshire Artist Topic of Next Rotary Club Meeting

A world famous artist who hailed from Cheshire will be the topic of discussion at the next Cheshire Rotary Club meeting.

Joan Pilarczyk, the director of Artsplace, will be the guest speaker at the Rotary's next meeting on Sept. 12 at noon at the Waverly Inn, 286 Maple Ave. Lunch is $12. 


Pilarczyk will present a video about John Frederick Kensett, a founding member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art who was born and raised in Cheshire.  The video was funded in part by the Connecticut Community Foundation.  A children's activity book about the artist Kensett is included town-wide in the 3rd grade curriculum.

The public is welcome. For more information, contact the Cheshire Rotary.
