Last Sunday while in New Haven, Connecticut we stopped by the Knights of Columbus Museum (One State Street, New Haven, CT 06511), and to our surprise saw several exquisite pieces by Calabrian born artist Antonio Caruso in their current exhibit 'Joyeux Noël: Christmas in Canada.'
Antonio Caruso is considered by many to be one of the leading artists in Canada. He is a painter as well as a sculptor and his art was selected by the Canadian Post for a series of Christmas postage stamps. He is also the creator of the innovative art technique called frescografia.
'Joyeux Noël: Christmas in Canada' will run through February 3, 2013.
