Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum to Open “Bulls of Wall Street,” a New Exhibition on 19th-century Finance
2025-09-04 12:00 - 2026-02-04 16:00 (America/New_York) | The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, 295 West Avenue, Norwalk, CT, 06850, United States
The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum will open a new exhibition titled, “Bulls of Wall Street: High Finance, Power, and Social Change in Victorian America.”
With rare and never-before-seen period artifacts, photos, documents, and costumes from public and private collections, this exhibition curated by Museum Consultant Stacey Danielson will explore the financial world of LeGrand Lockwood, one of America’s leading figures in 19th-century American finance, and his peers—Vanderbilt and Gould. This program will also investigate the role of trailblazing women such as Victoria Woodhull and Hetty Green, as well as individuals from marginalized communities such as the first black millionaire in America, Jeremiah Hamilton, who tried to break Wall Street’s “glass ceiling” and enter the world of finance and the market in 19th-century America.
Visitors will also delve into the birth of Wall Street, its financial instruments, and scientific breakthroughs that modernized and accelerated the exchange of information, making Wall Street the new economic engine, and propelling “self-made men” to new heights of prosperity.
Ms. Danielson is a longtime independent museum professional who received her BS in business administration from Ohio University and holds a certificate in Historic Interiors and Decorative Arts from New York School of Interior Design. She has assisted many institutions with curatorial and exhibition work including the statewide Museum Makeover program conducted by Conservation ConneCTion and Connecticut League of Museums to enhance the visitor experience at cultural heritage organizations throughout the state.
LMMM Chairman of the Board Douglas Hempstead and Executive Director Susan Gilgore said, “The Museum is thrilled to open this exciting, new exhibit on American finance, which has been several years in the making. We are very grateful to CT Humanities and all our supporters and look forward to sharing rarely seen images and artifacts as well as a new perspective on early Wall Street with all our visitors.”
Author and Independent Historian, Sheri Caplan will join Ms. Danielson as an expert advisor on women’s history of finance. The exhibition was developed with the assistance of Independent Museum Curator/Consultant Kathleen Craughwell-Varda and several outstanding expert advisors including Challis Professor of History at The University of Sydney, Australia, Shane White, award-winning author of, “Prince of Darkness, The Untold Story of Jeremiah G. Hamilton, Wall Street’s First Black Millionaire” ; John E. Herzog, who spearheaded the expansion of Herzog, Heine, Geduld, Inc. into the third-largest NASDAQ market maker in the country, founder of the Museum of American Finance in NYC, and author of, “A Billion to One”, and Prof. Janice Traflet, Ph.D. M.B.A. author of Traflet, M. J., Wright, E. R., (2022) “Fearless: Wilma Soss and America’s Forgotten Investor Movement,” All Seasons Press.
The exhibition, “Bulls of Wall Street” is generously sponsored by: CT Humanities, for both the research and the implementation phases of the project, and supporters Tim & Sheila Pettee, Kathy Olsen, and Dr. Michele & Attorney Miklos Koleszar.
LMMM’s 2025 programs are made possible in part by LMMM’s Founding Patrons: The Estate of Mrs. Cynthia Clark Brown; LMMM’s Leadership Patrons: Dr. Michele & Attorney Miklos Koleszar, and The Sealark Foundation; and LMMM’s 2025 Season Distinguished Benefactors: The City of Norwalk, The Maurice Goodman Foundation, Inc., and Lockwood-Mathews Foundation, Inc.

New Exhibit: Precisely.
2025-11-20 18:00 - 2026-01-07 17:00 | Flinn Gallery, 101 West Putnam Ave., Greenwich, CT, 06830, United States
The Flinn Gallery is proud to present Precisely., the second exhibition of the 2025–26 season, with an opening reception on Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 6 pm. The show features the work of four artists: Sarah Walker, Nate Ethier, and the collaborative duo Anoka Faruqee and David Driscoll.
Curated by Chris Joy and Francene Langford, Precisely. features paintings of captivating complexity and rigorous precision. Extreme craftsmanship and experimentation result in the type of material exactitude one might find in a scientific lab or in the intellectual rigor of a philosopher’s notebook.
Sarah Walker (New York, NY) creates paintings that embody complex worlds, churning with electrostatic current. Pouring fluid acrylic with acute control, she layers geometries that suggest networks, machinery, or brainwave patterns. She writes: “A generous leeway exists layer to layer for preservation so that each action casts its line of development forward into the painting’s future.” The surfaces allow for multiple types of information to co-exist – objects are spaces and spaces are objects.
Marrying the language of abstraction with a sense of metaphysical charge, Walker says: “I look for moments of intensity where the cross-communication of dissimilar patterns form a moiré effect in the mind (of the viewer).” Walker’s work has been exhibited widely, including at Gregory Lind Gallery, the Alcott Gallery, and the Rose Art Museum. She is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the National Academy of Design, and the Neuberger Museum of Art. Walker has received a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant and the Jacob Lawrence Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She is represented by Pierogi Gallery in New York.
Anoka Faruqee and David Driscoll (Woodbridge, CT) have worked collaboratively since 2012, creating luminous abstract paintings that push the limits of precision. Using custom-built laser-cut tools and hand-pulled techniques, they produce vibrant interference patterns with a seemingly impossible physical gesture.
Of their work, they write: “Precision and plotting paradoxically yield resonant and unstable perceptual experiences. These abstract works re-enact, rather than translate, inherent structures within nature; specifically light as wavelength.”
Their paintings simulate the behaviors of light – reflection, diffraction, interference – while remaining rooted in material discipline. Faruqee, an Associate Dean at Yale School of Art, and Driscoll have exhibited their collaborative work at institutions including the Secession, DeCordova Museum, the Suburban, and Koenig & Clinton Gallery. Their collaboration has become a conceptual practice that contests traditional notions of the artist as an individual with a singular identity and vision – opening a conversation about the value of cooperation in the creative process.
Nate Ethier (New York, NY) infuses his geometric abstractions with the rhythms of nature, the energy of music, and a love of craft passed down through his family. He uses stencils as well as freehand brush marks to make hyperspectral surfaces. Reveling in structure and order, the paintings dance with the pleasure of the luminous world. Ethier reflects: “Inspiration for the shapes and motifs at play in this work came from the dappling effect of sunlight through forest canopies, stained glass arrangements, mycology, sun angle charts, wind patterns, bird murmuration, the Moon, concert lighting, botanical order, loud music on a clear day, and surely many other subconscious interventions.”
With roots in both formal abstraction and pop sensibility, Ethier’s work radiates with optimism, pattern, and precision. His painting practice is deeply informed by early exposure to craftsmanship, from his father’s carpentry to his mother’s salon – spaces that taught him to appreciate rhythm, aesthetics and determined mastery. Ethier has exhibited widely at venues including David Richard Gallery, Auxier/Kline, Danese/Corey, Minus Space, Geoffrey Young Gallery, the Susquehanna Art Museum, and Chart Gallery.
Precisely. will open with a public reception on Thursday, November 20, 6-8 pm, where guests will have the opportunity to meet the artists and view the exhibition. An Artist Talk will take place on Thursday, December 4, at 6 pm. The exhibition closes January 7, 2026.
The Flinn Gallery is a non-profit organization sponsored by Friends of Greenwich Library and is located on the second floor of the Library at 101 Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT. The gallery presents five curated exhibitions each season, showcasing contemporary art across media and perspectives. All exhibitions and related programs are free and open to the public, welcoming visitors daily Mon. to Sat., 10am-5pm, Thurs. until 8pm, and Sun. 1-5pm.

Opening Reception: Thursday, November 20, 2025, 6–8 pm

Port Chester, NY — Step inside the creative treasure trove of the Simons Building’s Artist Studios Open House, a two-day event showcasing the vibrant community of makers who call this historic building home.
With the revitalization of Port Chester well underway there’s a quiet movement of art being produced unbeknownst to the traffic and pulse on the street. Located just steps from the Capitol Theatre and the Metro-North station, the Simons Building—an early 20th-century industrial landmark—is a hidden wellspring of work by contemporary painters, sculptors, mixed media artists, weavers, photographers, and designers.
Visitors will have a rare opportunity to explore working studios, view new artwork, and meet the artists shaping Port Chester’s growing creative scene. Port Chester based arts organization, Neptune in June, will also have an exhibition on view in the building featuring faculty, alumni, and current MFA students from SUNY Purchase. Visitors are welcome to attend the opening reception on Friday from 7-9pm.
Once known as the Ernest Simons Manufacturing Building, the site produced textiles, Fruit of the Loom underwear, and parachutes during wartime. Locals may remember it as “the Linen Factory,” but today the building is celebrated as a thriving hub of artistic innovation—a gem in downtown Port Chester.
