The Bristol Center for Arts and Culture, located in the New England Carousel Museum building, is honored to present a new collection of artwork from Bristol artist Glo Sessions, to be housed in the renovated gallery dedicated to her work. September 19 marks the opening of the Glo Sessions Gallery, a permanent space containing work created especially for this event.
A long-time resident of Bristol, Ms. Sessions captures the essence of people and the character of neighborhoods. She enjoys a national reputation and has her work hanging in private collections, corporate offices, universities, and museums throughout the country and abroad. Ms. Sessions was one of the original board members of the New England Carousel Museum and has been a long-time supporter and friend to the museum.
     Upon graduation from Skidmore College, Ms. Sessions began her art career in advertising in New York City, where she met and married James McCall Sessions. When her fifth child turned three years old, she began to concentrate on refining her artwork. Upon the death of her husband, she consolidated her studios into one location. Today she paints, travels, tends to her beautiful gardens, and spends as much time as possible with her best friend, Joe Gnazzo.
