One (1) Hour Historical Walking Tour

 The exhibit uses historic photographs, artifacts, and first-hand accounts to explore 260 years of Cornwall’s relationship with its forests, showing how and why the town transformed from forest to farm and back to forest. The exhibit will also explore changing attitudes about the forest, from the 18^th century view of woods as a source of timber to more recent concepts of the forest as a setting for recreation and as a vital ecosystem.

In the Rio Grande River Valley of central New Mexico and eastern Arizona, the Pueblos, a people spread over 19 communities, continue to practice their ancient art of pottery-making.  Descendents of the Anasazi, the Pueblo People, still use the traditional coiling methods and decorative patterns that have distinguished their work for centuries..

This exhibit compares and contrasts the unique style of each Pueblo community and highlights individual artists who have shaped this timeless craft.

 The museum is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00am - 5:00pm* and Sunday 12:00pm to 5:00pm *      *Last admission 4:30pm

$15 tickets with valid student ID available beginning at 10 am on any wednesday, Thursday or Friday for that evening's performance.

Matthew Garrett extracts his imagery from unremarkable environments, isolating the visual murmurs of our surroundings. The images themselves don’t rest in one place--or on one thought--as they bounce from the slightly cryptic, to the strictly abstract and over to the plainly beautiful, before returning to more vernacular descriptions in which things are exactly as they appear to be.

Gerald Saladyga sees landscape painting not as a romantic representation of the past, but as an ongoing inspiration from an ever-changing environment. His current series of landscapes began in 2008 and culminated in 2012 with a present a view of the planet as a cartoon of itself, perhaps too real to be funny or too unreal to be taken seriously.

In the ongoing celebration of Silvermine’s 90th anniversary, this historical exhibition consists of a selection of prints made by a selection of Guild Artist members, both past and present made during this time period.  The exhibiting artists are connected through Milestone Graphics, the oldest printmaking workshop in Connecticut, owned by Jim Reed, a Guild artist who is serving as advisor.

Kat Edmonson is a buoyant singer-songwriter from Texas whose tiny stature belies a powerful voice. She makes smart, familiar pop; though steeped in vintage tradition, her style leans left of center. Kat’s biggest strength is her rich vocal control: alternately coy, elegant, and poignant, she often shifts tone effortlessly from one note to another, and she’s not afraid to leave in the occasional touch of gravel in her recordings. The singer is exceptionally present both on her albums and in concert.

Weight Watchers in North Haven, Orange, Guilford, Wallingford, Newington and Waterbury will be hosting the Lose For Good® Open House.

Weight Watcher's fifth annual Lose For Good campaign runs from September 2 through October 20. Over the last four years, as our members have shed pounds, Weight Watchers® has donated $4 million to our charitable partners, Share Our Strength® and Action Against Hunger, to help fight hunger here and around the world. Again this year, our goal is to donate $1 million to these life-saving organizations.

On a local level, Weight Watcher's meeting room members have donated over 5.6 million pounds of food during the past five Lose For Good campaigns, to help fight hunger in their own communities. This year, as part of the Lose For Good campaign, Weight Watchers will hold a one-day food drive during the September 15th LFG Open House to benefit the Connecticut Food Bank. Join us for this very special one-day-only offer with prizes, refreshments, recipes and more. Remember to bring a non-perishable item to donate.  If you have ever wanted to find out more about Weight Watchers and contribute to an important community service organization like the CT Foodbank there has never been a better time to come in.
