Greenwich Historical Society invites the public to experience Re-Framing 95, an interactive art installation and exhibition in collaboration with Untapped New York, that explores the impact of Interstate 95 on the historic Cos Cob waterfront, National Historic Landmark Bush-Holley House, and overall Greenwich community. The public is invited to experience Re-Framing 95 and join a Guided Walking Tour, presented by Justin Rivers, chief experience officer with Untapped New York, on Saturday, June 28. Added by popular demand, four tours are offered at 12 p.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. Tours are free for Historical Society members and $15 for non-members and reservations can be made at greenwichhistory.org.

The interactive art installation and exhibition of Re-Framing 95 was created in collaboration with Untapped New York and artist Aaron Asis, and features floating large-scale gold frames positioned around the Historical Society’s campus and the Bush-Holley House. Each frame spotlights a view reshaped by I-95, encouraging visitors to reflect on how infrastructure intersects with history and community.

“The response to our opening-weekend walking tours back in April was tremendous,” noted Debra Mecky, executive director and CEO of Greenwich Historical Society. “We are thrilled to be able to offer them again with our exhibition partner Untapped New York before the exhibition closes at the end of June. The walking tours provide the story and history of how I-95 impacted the area and is a powerful way to connect with the stories and landscapes that have shaped Greenwich.”

Inside the Historical Society’s Permanent Collections Gallery, an exhibition pairs historic Impressionist artworks from the Cos Cob art colony with contemporary companion pieces by Aaron Asis, imagining the same scenes as they might appear today — with the highway in view.

“Our Historical Society campus, home to the Cos Cob art colony at the turn of the 19th century, is still a place where artists come to draw and paint en plein air,” noted Mecky. “I-95 has become part of that landscape. This exhibition memorializes how the impressionist artists might have included I-95 had it existed during their time – and showcases how artists see it today.”

Visitors are also encouraged to come to the Historical Society campus to draw and paint en plein air – in fact, the property is open any time to artists to create on its grounds. Visitors are also invited to participate in a fun social media contest by snapping selfies with at least three of the five outdoor frames that are part of the Re-Framing 95 art installation. Those who post to Instagram tagging @greenwichhistory, @untappedny and @aaron_asis will be entered to win tickets to a sold-out Rediscover Greenwich Avenue walking tour and a limited-edition print by Asis.

Re-Framing 95 runs through June 30 at the Greenwich Historical Society’s campus at 47 Strickland Road in Cos Cob. For more information, tickets and contest details, visit greenwichhistory.org.

Greenwich Historical Society was founded in 1931 to preserve and interpret Greenwich history to strengthen the community’s connection to our past, to each other and to the future. The circa 1730 National Historic Landmark Bush-Holley House witnessed slavery and the American Revolution and became the site of Connecticut’s first American Impressionist art colony from 1890 to 1920. Its landscape and gardens are restored based on documentation from the site’s Impressionist era. The campus also includes a nationally accredited museum, library and archives, a museum store, café and a community education center. Greenwich Historical Society educates thousands of school children annually and connects visitors to the history of this globally influential community through exhibitions, lectures, programs and events. It receives no town funding and relies on donations and grants to continue its work in education and preservation. Learn more at greenwichhistory.org.
