Celebrate the holiday season and support The Wadsworth during this favorite holiday fundraiser. Each year, community members, artists, and volunteers from local organizations donate trees and holiday décor, turning the galleries into a festive winter wonderland. Profits from the sale of donated holiday items help fund the museum’s special exhibitions and educational programs. Bring home the holiday cheer or donate your purchase to a local charity. Festival of Trees and Traditions is presented by the Friends of the Wadsworth Atheneum. All proceeds from this event fund the museum’s exhibitions, collections, and programming.
