Candlelight 2025
Friday, November 21, 2025, 5 PM - 8 PM
The artists of the Farmington Valley Arts Center invite the community to join them for a twinkling start to the holiday season. The Candlelight Opening showcases the diverse and talented artists who work on-site year-round creating everything from paintings, prints, photography, and filmmaking to textiles, sculptures, jewelry, ceramics, and fine art illustrations.
As you stroll the illuminated boardwalk at the historic, two-story brownstone, and enjoy some complimentary delectables, you will feel miles away from the frenetic places frequented by most holiday shoppers. Step into the inspiring and inviting studios and galleries, all decked out with beautifully crafted gifts and fine art and get a chance to meet the creators of each thoughtfully crafted piece.
It's important to note that the Arts Center operates as a nonprofit entity, relying on the generosity of individuals like you for sustenance. Your support makes events such as this and various community outreach initiatives possible. Kindly consider contributing to our cause and nurturing the spirit of creativity and togetherness.
