They sponsor 3 to 4 themed exhibitions a year. According to Malerie Yolen-Cohen of HuffPost, Franklin Street Works offers the "potential for animated discussions about the meaning of life and art”, while Connecticut Magazine described the space as containing “thought provoking... politically motivated” art.[1][2]

History

It is Stamford's first nonprofit modern art gallery and is located in a renovated brick townhouses originally built in the 1880s. It exhibits works by emerging artists and strives to be a cultural laboratory where artists and community members can collaborate and interact. Works also include performances of experimental music and performance art projects. In 2012 it received a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts[3] According to the Stamford Daily Voice: "Franklin Street Works provides the region with critically acclaimed contemporary art exhibitions and programming, garnering positive reviews in international publications such as ArtForum online, Art Papers and Hyperallergic."[4] It organizes approximately three original contemporary art exhibitions each year.

Franklin Street Works was founded in 2011 by attorney Kathryn Emmett.[5] Since 2011, Terri C. Smith is the creative director of Franklin Street Works.[6]
