Artists in AmFab complex plan Nov. 14 open house
AmFab complex
Artists in the former American Fabrics factory will have an open studios event for the public Saturday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 1069 Connecticut Ave., Building 4.
The artists and so-called “artrepreneurs” all work under one roof in the newly renovated industrial complex, now named the AmFab Art and Design Center. This includes painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramic artists, print makers, quilters, textile and jewelry designers, handbag manufacturers, clothing designers and interior designers.
Occupancy at the renovated loft building in the East End has quadrupled since Westrock Development LLC began renovating the complex earlier this year, with more than 20 studios now in operation.
Ed Rosenblatt, property manager for Westrock Development, said, “When we began developing the American Fabrics complex, a handful of artists were leasing space in one of the buildings. After meeting with them, it became apparent that there was a need for affordable loft space for artists in Bridgeport. We decided to renovate the building, and it is almost fully occupied.”
