Happy Hour Friday with the Center for Contemporary Printmaking

Kick off your weekend with an art-filled escape at The Aldrich! Every Friday this summer, the Museum stays open late until 7 pm for Happy Hour Fridays.* Explore the galleries with tours featuring works by 40 Connecticut-based artists in the exhibition The Aldrich Decennial: I am what is around me. Unleash your creativity with fun, hands-on activities in The Studio, or simply unwind in our Sculpture Garden, where newly installed outdoor artworks will be on view. Sip on $6 wine and beer while enjoying the Sculpture Garden. Members receive one free drink ticket per Happy Hour, to be picked up at the Front Desk upon arrival. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Happy Hour Fridays at The Aldrich offer the perfect way to start your weekend! Throughout the series, we’ll feature beer selections from Nod Hill Brewery, with Chez Lenard joining on select evenings to offer food and refreshments.*Please note that Happy Hour Fridays will not occur on July 3 and July 24. Special collaboration with Center for Contemporary Printmaking! Check out The Aldrich Decennial, participate in a drop-in screen printing workshop, and leave with your own unique screen printed Aldrich merch. Visitors are welcome to print on tote bags provided, or bring something from home to upcycle! Workshop materials are first-come-first-serve while supplies last. Both an art gallery and printmaking studio, The Center for Contemporary Printmaking (CCP) in Norwalk, Connecticut is dedicated to increasing awareness, knowledge and appreciation for fine art prints and the processes of printmaking. It is the only nonprofit fine art printmaking facility of its kind between New York and Boston. Many of the artists featured in the Aldrich Decennial have also worked with CCP, in the form of residencies, gallery shows, and studio memberships.
