CT State Community College Middlesex

November 2, 2026 –January 15, 2027Opening Reception on Monday, November 9, 4:30-6:30pm.


Allison Riback McLaughlin’s paintings and drawings capture the quiet rhythms of life in rural Connecticut. In “Tones of Home,” human and animal subjects inhabit serene interiors and bucolic landscapes. The autobiographical nature of Allison’s work offers a glimpse into a private world, where deep connections to family and place are carefully observed and preserved. While her compositions, poses, and iconography subtly reference Renaissance and Regionalist traditions, Allison’s meticulously rendered imagery rewards viewers with intimate scenes that resonate with warmth, familiarity, and a strong sense of belonging.

Allison is an adjunct studio art instructor at CT State Middlesex and Sacred Heart University. She received a Master of Fine Arts degree from the New York Academy of Art and a Bachelor of Arts in Art &amp; Design from Sacred Heart University. Her work has been exhibited throughout Connecticut and New York City.



Pegasus Gallery is located within the library on the first floor of Chapman Hall.&nbsp;Hours: Monday - Thursday: 8:30 am - 7 pm, Friday: 8:30 am – 4 pm. When classes are in session.

<h3>Join Sip &amp; Script®&nbsp;for a Night of Learning Calligraphy!</h3>
Join us at&nbsp;1741 Pub &amp; Grill at Lyman Orchards&nbsp;in&nbsp;Middlefield, Connecticut&nbsp;for a festive workshop of thankful fun and pretty lettering&nbsp;for beginners! Whether you’re a stationery nerd, DIY Bride-to-be, or just a crafty individual, in this workshop you’ll be learning an introduction to modern calligraphy with a pointed dip pen and ink. We will cover all the basics and get you ready to add those special lettered details to all your Thanksgiving holiday tables with place cards, menus, food labels, bar carts and more!
Class includes 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration, our beginner’s calligraphy kit, and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop! Additionally, we will be lettering on faux pumpkins at the end of our class time!

Food and drinks will be available to purchase throughout class so come hungry! Class will start promptly at&nbsp;6:30 PM!&nbsp;
Class Expectations:&nbsp;Yes,&nbsp;lefties&nbsp;are welcome too!&nbsp;This class is encouraged for someone who has never taken a calligraphy class before. We teach the basics and our expectation for you is to have ink flowing through your nib with enough confidence to be able to practice way beyond class. We love using tracing paper with our guides to help you build muscle memory and develop your own style! &nbsp;If you have tried calligraphy out before, this class will be a great refresher and hopefully a chance to try some new supplies from our beginner kit that will re-introduce you to this lovely form of art!
A note on bringing guests 16 and under:&nbsp;We love to share this passion with kids. You are welcome to get a ticket for your child as long as you are comfortable with people around them having a drink or two. We do ask that anyone under the age of 16 is to be accompanied by a ticketed adult at all times.
