Tickets are still available to our Milkofsky Dinner on April 9th! Join us at the @saybrookpointresort to support the Museum’s collections and archives and enjoy lively conversation, a delectable dinner, and the chance to engage with one of Connecticut’s finest historians, Amy Kurtz Lansing, Curator at the @florencegriswoldmuseum .
For over a century, the Wiggins family of artists recorded southeastern Connecticut’s scenic waterways, towns, and landscapes in their paintings. Committed teachers, they encouraged their pupils to do the same, most notably at the Guy Wiggins Art School that Guy C. opened in Essex during the Great Depression. Celebrating the donation of Guy C. Wiggins’s painting of a dock now belonging to the Museum (featured here), this lecture by Amy Kurtz Lansing will illustrate the family’s artistic legacy in Connecticut, from Old Lyme to Essex. Grab your tickets at the link in our bio.
