The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

Aldrich Undercover returns! The Museum's signature biennial “secret” benefit art sale where the identity of the artist who created the work for sale is only revealed after purchase. In light of safety restrictions because of COVID-19, Aldrich Undercover has been reimagined as a virtual fundraiser.

Flow, move, stretch, and bend like the harmonic wind sculptures of exhibiting artist Tim Prentice with our family-friendly Virtual Mindfulness and Movement for Kids!

We’ll explore the unique essence of your objects, finding how they’re as rich in symbolism as the items included in the traveling exhibition known as the Aldrich Care Box.

Create your very own garden wind chime in our Virtual Art-Making for Kids program!

Gather your little ones for our Virtual Story Time with Education Assistant Lorena Sferlazza and the Ridgefield Library!
