"Connections," a juried show of contemporary drawings, paintings, photography, prints, mixed media and sculpture by artists from Connecticut and beyond, runs through June 2 in the Farmington Valley Arts Center's Fisher Gallery. Juror Patricia Hickson, who joined Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum in 2009 as the Emily Hall Tremaine Curator of Contemporary Art, selected the show's pieces for their imaginative and thoughtful interpretations of the "Connections" theme. The exhibit provides arts enthusiasts and collectors with the opportunity to view--and to purchase--diverse creations deemed notable by Hickson, who oversees contemporary art collections, acquisitions and special exhibitions at America's oldest public art museum. Gallery hours are noon until 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and by appointment.
