Last week of Fiber Arts Exhibit in the Gallery

If it would ever stop snowing (!), we can open up the gallery for the final days of the spectacular art quilt exhibit, Circular Thinking. This exhibition of fiber art by members of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA-CT) is designed to explore the varieties of meanings, images, and experiences evoked by the circle. The circle can be appreciated as a shape, a symbol, a concept or a metaphor. This exhibition seeks to celebrate diverse explorations of this image that has permeated cultures across the world and across time. The show is up in the gallery through Saturday, February 28, Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm. Free and open to all.

 


 

Registration Open for Summer Youth & Teen Program

We opened registration early this year to give families more time to plan ahead and make room for creativity in their child’s summer. Click here to view the summer youth catalog. There are so many new exciting classes for ages 5 and older, plus teen classes. Find something that will spark your child’s passion for art this summer!
