Rita Hannafin’s Float hangs in the midst of City Gallery’s latest show on Upper State Street, a quilt of bright, shifting colors, surprising shapes, dynamic contrasts, and ultimately, cohesion. 

It’s an apt encapsulation of City Gallery’s October show. Normally, City Gallery’s monthly shows feature one or two of its member artists. For this month, through Oct. 27, all 16 of the gallery’s member artists are participating in a show, which is itself part of New Haven Open Studios, a month-long celebration of visual arts loosely centered around Erector Square’s warren of artist studios but in fact stretching from one side of New Haven to the other, and this year, into surrounding towns as well.
