The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

Join us for “Getting” Contemporary Art led by Kristen Erickson, art history teacher and Director of the Luchsinger Gallery at Greenwich Academy. Through this three-session course, participants will engage deeply with The Aldrich’s spring exhibitions while having access to our galleries and the Museum’s Studio learning space in private evening sessions. Designed to provoke open and dynamic dialogue, these small classes will help participants learn to analyze, interpret, and discuss the contemporary artwork on view.

Please join artist Elizabeth Englander and Associate Curator Eduardo Andres Alfonso for a talk on the work and ideas behind Elizabeth Englander: Eminem Buddhism, Volume 3, the artist’s first museum exhibition. Participants can attend the event either in-person at the Museum or virtually over Zoom.

Join us at The Aldrich for a full-day, week-long arts experience with Museum Educators and a practicing teaching artist. Campers explore the Museum’s three-acre campus, learn in the galleries, and incorporate the world around them into their art.

In anticipation of the exhibition A Garden of Promise and Dissent, visit one of the region's most incredible gardens in full bloom. Explore ceramicist and gardener Frances Palmer's magnificent Weston, CT garden while her collection of dahlias are at their peak and enjoy some of the artist's delicious homemade treats.

This special one-night event—featuring pop art inspired music, cocktails, and activations—raises critical funds to support the Museum’s mission to serve as a leading incubator for artists at critical creative junctures.
