City Lights Gallery

One of the bright lights of downtown Bridgeport’s revitalization is the City Lights Gallery, a combination of gallery and gathering place that has been attracting enthusiastic crowds of art lovers to its exhibition openings, which take place approximately every six weeks.

Visitors to the sophisticated, SoHo-style space are treated to a visual feast of works by established and emerging regional artists. Conversation, events and celebrations are also regularly held at the gallery, which has hosted gala receptions for the Playhouse on the Green, Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Connecticut, the American Red Cross and other organizations.

A large part of the appeal is the unexpected delight of discovering distinctive works of sculpture, painting, prints and more by area artists—at a range of price points intended to help make high quality, original art available and affordable for everyone.

The gallery has showcased works by Bridgeport artist Gus Moran, who served on the faculty of the Silvermine Art Academy and who is represented in collections around the world; Brechin Morgan, whose murals and maritime paintings are well known and avidly collected by Connecticut residents; Rab Thornton, whose unique and graceful mobiles were inspired by the great Alexander Calder; and many others.

Art in the exhibitions is available for purchase, and custom framing is available on site. The gallery also offers a variety of art related services and is available for rental for parties and events.

The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 5:30pm, and from 11:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday.
