How did artists deal with the pandemic? Wilton exhibit shows how artists adapted to change Andrea Valluzzo FacebookTwitterEmail "Pangaea" by Blair Tate is on display at browngrotta arts.Tom Grotta / Contributed photo Even though art-making is mostly a solitary pursuit involving artists ensconced in their studios — naturally socially distanced — the past year has had a significant impact on artists. The gallerists at browngrotta arts in Wilton decided to look at changes across the board, not just the pandemic, as a sweeping theme in their annual spring “Art in the Barn” exhibition. This year’s show, “Adaptation: Artists Respond to Change,” will open on Saturday, May 8 and will run through May 16.
