First Thursday in Hartford

There was lots of Art to see in downtown Hartford for First Thursday.  First was the special show at the Hartford Courant Gallery at the Wadsworth Atheneum where 16 artists who will participating in next Fall's Open Studio Weekend displayed work as a sort of kick off.  I understand the Art will remain through the weekend. Here are some of the participants.

Iya Tucker
Damon Hellandbrand
Patricia Rosoff
Phil Fortune
Ashleigh Kay
Benjamin Parker
Natasha Miles
Ethan Boisvert
Jon Eastman
Tao LaBossiere
Barbara Hocker, who will have the opening for her solo show at 100 Pearl Street next Thursday.

Over at the Pump House Gallery on the edge of Bushnell Park, we found a lively gathering admiring the paintings by Linn Bae.  Linn also had a piece in the Wadsworth show.

At the Hartford Public Library there was a show of ten paintings of Mark Twain done by Tony Koos as a benefit to the Bushnell Park Foundation and Hartford Public Library.  The Art remains on display, and for sale, through the end of the month.
