Chen, Chen, Chenge... New Britain November 2023 CT museum visit #509. Without checking, I'm going to say that almost all of our state's colleges and universities have at least one public art gallery.

Loos Center for the Arts
They're Not Booing, They're Saying "Looooooos!" Woodstock October 2023 The story of how I was able to see the Gallery at the Loos Center is the story of the Gallery at the Loos Center.

I amArtHouse I Am Litchfield (Google Maps location) July 2022 Over the years of writing this website, I've seen the Bantam section of Litchfield grow up from a one stoplight, one gas station slice of Route 202 to a destination.

Bethany Museum of Impressionism
First Impressions... Bethany (Private home) December 2022 I don't often explain my page titles. Most of the time they are just so good and brilliant that they speak for themselves.

The Norwalk Art Space

Weir Farm National Historical Park
First Impressions Are Everything Wilton & Ridgefield (Google Maps location) May 25, 2017 Weir Farm is a lot of things beyond being "just" a museum.

West Hartford Art League Galleries
Don't Mind Me, I'm Getting VerKlimpt West Hartford (Google Maps location) April 2017 & 2018 As a resident of West Hartford I've always sort of felt that out arts scene is a bit lacking.

The Norfeldt Kindergarten Museum
This is My Site and My Son, So There West Hartford May 4, 2017 Warning: This is a vanity post. I am writing this for me and my family, not any of you. It's not the first and it won't be the last.
