The Upstairs Gallery is pleased to present the works of Sherry Davis and Cathleen Ficht. Sherry Davis is exhibiting a site-specific installation that blends recycled and modified textiles, industrial materials, and natural objects. Cathleen Ficht’s works on paper are based on her finely detailed drawings of waves and water; depicting images that hover between representation and abstraction. The exhibition runs daily from 8 March through the end of May.
Pop artist Leo Jensen (1926–2019) turned a winking eye on America, producing irreverent art that is nevertheless serious in its cultural observations. Known best regionally for his bronze frog sculptures on the Thread City Crossing bridge in Willimantic, Jensen infused his work with humor as well as thought-provoking reflections on modern American society.
The Tremaine Art Gallery at The Hotchkiss School at 11 Interlaken Road, Lakeville CT is pleased to present Dialogue: Art in Conversation, featuring works by Valerie Hammond and Nathaniel (Tate) Klacsmann, from April 2 through June 2, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, April 6 from 4 to 6 p.m. This exhibition explores the creative processes of two artists whose work reverberates around questions of social inequity, magic, myth, and the environment. Together, their pieces begin a conversation filled with reflective echoes, offering opportunity for intersection around creativity and process. Curated by Joan Baldwin and Terri Moore, Dialogue also includes video and photography by Colleen Macmillan, Ann Villano, and Hotchkiss film students. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.

Hamden Symphony Orchestra will conclude its 62nd season and mark a decade of performances at Hamden’s Memorial Town Hall with its Spring concert, “Discoveries,” on Sunday April 28th at 3:00 PM. This program will feature music composed between 1811 and 1928, spanning from the early Romantic era all the way to the fusion of jazz into symphonic music.
The Orchestra is thrilled to accompany the four talented winners of their 2024 Young Musicians Concerto Competition; Clarinetist Mia Gribbon of Hamden, Violinist Ian Li of Waterford, Violinist Doris Lu of West Hartford and Cellist James Stuber of Wallingford will perform works of Weber, Glazunov, Sarasate and Elgar, respectively.
George Gershwin’s rhapsodic tone poem, “An American in Paris,” highlights nearly every instrument in the Orchestra through the course of its narrative: a massive orchestration employing four different types of saxophones and an expansive array of percussion (taxi horns included) to evoke the frenetic by day and romantic by night vibes of the Parisian streets encountered by its visitor. Rounding out this program is the occasionally boisterous, but always grand, “Academic Festival Overture” of Johannes Brahms. No tickets are required in advance. A $15 Suggested Donation ($10 Students/Seniors) will be accepted at the door. For more information visit www.hamdensymphony.org or call 203-691-5178.
