Celebrating Governor Ned Lamont and the State of Connecticut and artist Maren Hassinger.

The Aldrich Gala in the Garden is the Museum’s largest annual fundraiser of the year, raising crucial support for The Aldrich’s mission of presenting and commissioning the work of emerging and underrecognized artists.

This year we are thrilled to celebrate Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and the State of Connecticut and artist Maren Hassinger. The Aldrich’s Gala in the Garden will feature cocktails at the Museum, where the exhibitions Martin Beck: for hours, days, and weeks at a time, Martha Diamond: Deep Time, and Aldrich Projects | Wen Liu: Tame Tangle will be on view in the galleries, followed by dinner, a live auction, and a special performance in our newly revitalized Sculpture Garden, where Maren’s work will be on display.

Questions? Contact Holly Hart, Head of Membership and Events at hhart@thealdrich.org or 203.438.4519 extension 118.
