Who Arted? Connecticut Art Trail I first published this page in 2009. The CT Art Trail has gone through many changes since then, and keeping up with it has been a challenge. As such, I can't pretend that the listing here is 100% accurate at the day and time you are reading this. (Last checked January … [Read more...]
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. And I don't care. I deserve to be able to do such things once every five years or so. The Norfeldt Kindergarten … [Read more...]
Five Points Art Gallery & Annex
Five Alive Torrington (Google Maps location) February 2022 "Downtown Torrington" isn't huge and it isn't a shopping or dining mecca these days. It's trying though, and it's doing a great job of it.

Hogpen Hill Farms Sculpture Park
Statistically Significant Woodbury (Google Maps location) October 17, 2015 Are you comfortable? Good. You have clicked on what is one of my most favorite places in all of Connecticut. Large outdoor sculpture parks are always high on my list, but Hogpen Hill has the added bonus of being created and owned by … [Read more...]
Lon Pelton Sculptures
So Metal Lon Pelton's Sculptures, Windsor Of course I don't feature every random sculptor or artist that has works outside around Connecticut. But there's just something about Windsor's Lon Pelton and his folksy, political, often gutsy - and often not commissioned nor unauthorized - art, that I felt a page on CTMQ … [Read more...]
The Bristol Center for Arts & Culture
Glo Sessions is a Woman’s Name Bristol (Google Maps location) June 11, 2016 Alright, now I'm getting silly. The Bristol Center for Arts & Culture exists in a back corner of the New England Carousel Museum. When I visited, I was quite taken by the fact that the second floor of the joint has two distinct and legit … [Read more...]
Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum (Closed)
Putting the Ire in Ireland Hamden (Google Maps location) June 14, 2014 This museum officially closed in 2021 but not without controversy. It will be interesting what happens to the collection.
