When Susan Gilgore, executive director at the Lockwood Mathews Mansion Museum in Norwalk, began thinking about a pandemic-related art exhibit, one of the first works that came to mind was a 1919 painting by the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch.
This wasn’t Munch’s famous, frightening “Scream.” It was a self-portrait, showing the artist seated in an invalid’s robe and blanket, almost defeated by the Spanish flu. His pale face looks out from the canvas; only the circle of his open mouth reminiscent of the more lurid “Scream.”

The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum located at 295 West Ave., Norwalk, CT is calling for artists for a juried exhibition titled,
Socially Distant Art: Creativity in Lockdown.
The submission deadline is February 15, 12 p.m.
The exhibition will open on
April 8 and
Gail Ingis together with Trustee
Julyen Norman will select approximately 30 works from digital submissions. Works should be no more than five feet (sixty inches) on all sides.
This exhibition will be an interpretation on the pandemic experience filtered through the eye, mind, and creativity of the artist, who will be asked to submit works that relate to social distancing, isolation, the erosion and transformation of social interactions, and the multi-faceted challenges to themselves and/or the people around them caused by or in reaction to the pandemic.
