The GAC shop, school, gallery and office will be closed in observance of Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Monday, October 12, 2026. Regularly scheduled activities will resume on Tuesday, Oct 13.
Opening Reception this Saturday
October 10, 2-4pm
All invited to celebrate the opening of this new exhibition this Saturday. Explore works from artists from CT and throughout New England. Inspired by the centuries-old concept of memento mori, the exhibition explores life, loss, memory, change and transformation – not as a meditation on death, but as an invitation to appreciate the preciousness of being alive.
Remember You Must Live is on view October 9–30, 2026. More information
