As we get closer to Valentine’s Day, we’re reminded just how much inspiration love has provided for arts and culture — from romantic love to the affection for natural beauty. This month, we invite you to explore some of the beautiful works on display at our 30 museums and cultural sites, and to rekindle your own love for art. The year is still young, so there’s plenty of time to pick up a Passport-Journal and get free admission to each of these locations!
Connecticut’s landscapes have long drawn artists to our state to create amazing works that reflect the beauty of the environment. This autumn, we invite you to include Connecticut Art Trail’s 24 member museums on your itinerary as you map out your fall adventures.
It’s that time of year when it seems like nature itself becomes a canvas, as the trees become awash with brilliant hues of red, orange, and gold. Connecticut’s landscapes have long drawn artists to our state to create amazing works that reflect the beauty of the environment. This autumn, we invite you to include Connecticut Art Trail’s 24 member museums on your itinerary as you map out your fall adventures. See the seasonal transformation of their landscapes, tour outdoor sculpture gardens and exhibitions, and see how local artists have taken their inspiration from their surroundings.
Read the latest Connecticut Art Trail newsletter to learn more about how you can experience the season at these museums. Find out more about current and upcoming exhibitions and events, and learn more about our member museums with features on two locations. This month, we’re showcasing the Fairfield University Art Museum and MoCA Westport.
