From September 30 to October 29 we are really going overboard! Hold your breath and dive right in to explore the community of Fathom Heights, the wonderful underwater world of the sea faeries.⁠

Fathom Heights is fashionable shoreside community where the wee sea faeries—enchanted creatures sporting both wings and fins—live, work, and play. From shell encrusted houses and coffee shops to kelp-covered schools, theaters, and sport arenas, you’ll love visiting this underwater wonderland.⁠

The event will feature over two dozen sea faerie installations as well as a fun roster of special events to compliment the theme. florencegriswoldmuseum.org/wfv/

‘Solitary Garden’ in Old Lyme is a ‘gesture of hope’ for those incarcerated and their families

Thank you Connecticut Public and Ray Hardman for featuring our Solitary Garden. “Adjacent to the Historical Garden on the grounds of the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme is a small, raised-bed garden, with a trellis on one side that is gently being overtaken by vines.

This unassuming little garden is called the ‘Solitary Garden,’ a powerful message about incarceration and solitary confinement.”

Amy Kurtz Lansing Laura Fitzpatrick-Nager

A ‘Solitary Garden,’ illuminates the harsh realities of solitary confinement and humanity’s resilience through a partnership between a contemporary artist and an incarcerated gardener.

Old Lyme is a cute coastal town and a mecca for anyone with a creative spirit

Thank you Laura Benys for the thoughtful feature on Old Lyme for CT Insider. “…Old Lyme has a remarkable creative footprint. It made history as an artists’ colony, and the iconic Florence Griswold Museum is worth the trip alone. Even better, the town retains that playful sense of “let’s get together and make something,” with creative soirees aplenty along Lyme Street.” ☀️

The coastal town is an artists’ paradise and much more.

Photos from Florence Griswold Museum’s post

This fall the Florence Griswold Museum presents “Abandon in Place: The Worlds of Anna Held Audette.” The often considerable scale of Audette’s works, and their depiction of rusting machines in the workshops or fields in which they were made and used, position her compositions somewhere between landscape, still life, and abstraction.❓Did you know Anna❓We are putting together a selection of memories, thoughts, and photos to use on the Museum’s website and social media. If you would like to include yours, email Tammi@FloGris.org. Anna was well known and highly regarded as an artist and educator. After completing her undergraduate degree at Smith College, Anna received her BFA (1962) and MFA (1964) from the Yale School of Art, where she studied printmaking before later embracing painting. A long-time faculty member at Southern Connecticut State University and mentor to generations of students, she authored The Blank Canvas: Inviting the Muse, a widely used book about finding creative inspiration. She and her husband Louis lived in New Haven.
