The Farmington Valley Arts Center is pleased to announce its annual Candlelight celebration on Friday, November 13th, 6 - 9 PM and Open Studios on Saturday, November 14, 10 AM - 4 PM. This year's festivities bring a host of new and exciting events to complement our community favorites.
Since The Farmington Valley Arts Center announced a strategic reconstruction in September, the public outpouring of support has been tremendous. As planning for the future continues, FVAC is delighted to be able to continue our holiday traditions of Candlelight and Open Studios.
One exciting new feature of Candlelight 2009 will be the creation of an art installation in the Visitor's Gallery. For every donation to FVAC that evening, a candle will be lit in the donor's honor and added to the growing and glowing sculpture. Everyone is invited to participate and all proceeds go to FVAC.
Our Artists' Studios and galleries will be open every Saturday after Thanksgiving (10 AM -4 PM) to celebrate the holiday season. Stroll the boardwalk, enjoy food and fun, be inspired, and start your holiday shopping in style. We offer an amazing variety of artwork including paintings, drawings, prints, photography, bronze and kinetic sculptures, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, mixed media, chair seat weaving and metal works in 20 studios, Visitor's Gallery and Fisher Gallery! Stop by to chat, see the creative process in action, and buy a unique holiday gift.
