The Sculpture Garden Reopens!

On Friday, November 15th, following a yearlong construction project, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum celebrated the reopening of the Sculpture Garden with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

First Selectman Rudy Marconi, State Senators Julie Kushner and Ceci Maher, State Representative Aimee Berger-Girvalo, and Matt Pugliese and Liz Shapiro from the State of Connecticut’s Department of Economic and Community Development joined Aldrich Chair Emeritus Eric Diefenbach and Executive Director Cybele Maylone for remarks about the renovation and what the new landscape will mean for The Aldrich, for artists, and for the community. Guests were then able to explore the Sculpture Garden for the first time.

Following the ribbon cutting, over 1,000 guests joined The Aldrich for a weekend long series of celebrations: a party for supporters; an opening reception for the exhibitions Martha Diamond: Deep Time, A Garden of Promise and Dissent, Miles Huston: Overshoot, and Moko Fukuyama: Menagerie; and a Community Day to welcome the public back to the Museum.
