Since its inception in 1996, the vision of the Fine Arts Connection of Thomaston has been to create an organization dedicated to promoting the varied expressions of creativity in the realm of fine arts. One focus of this vision is to expose adults and children alike to the many diverse forms of art that exist in and around Thomaston, CT such as theater, music, dance, writing, painting, photography and many more.

It is recognized that the arts serve to assist a person in experiencing a greater satisfaction with life, either as a member of an audience or as a participant. The audience can listen to or observe and absorb what the artist has presented, while the participant can express his or her inner soul through the music, camera eye, dance, or canvas. No matter how one experiences the arts, experiencing them is paramount to one’s enjoyment of life, for life, in itself, is art.

The Thomaston Summer Concert Series 2022 officially kicked off its season on June 20th.

On Monday, August 15, 2022 in Seth Thomas Park at 7:00 p.m. we will feature for the first time to our stage, GRAYSON TY

Western Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter Grayson Ty has mastered the art of vulnerability. Entirely unpretentious, his stage presence is easy, genuine, and unguarded. In an era of so much disconnection and artifice, Grayson brings audiences together with his honest, heartfelt lyrics, and soulful, soothing voice.

Following a sold-out release show for his debut EP Believe, Grayson has shared the stage with American Idol winner Nick Fradiani, Heather Maloney (Signature Sounds), and Crystal Bowersox (American Idol runner-up) among others. Believe earned regional and international acclaim as Grayson toured extensively.

Grayson’s impeccable songwriting brings out the best of his full range, from R&B crooning and folk-inspired storytelling to masterful pop riffs and earnest lyrics. He believes deeply in the connective power of music, working as a music therapist by day, and collaborating as co-writer with other songwriters.

Grayson most recent singles, “Fall Again”, has rapidly gained over 24,000 streams on Spotify, and was highly-reviewed by journals across the United States and Europe. His music can be found an all platforms, as well as at graysonty.com

In case of rain, this show will be held at the Thomaston Opera House.

The Crescent Gallery, 158 Main Street Thomaston will be open Saturday, August 13, from 10 am to 2:30 pm.

For about a century, this location was a firehouse. In fact the history behind the Crescent Gallery’s name roots back to the Crescent Hose Company No. 2. The number 2 is chiseled in granite over the door.

For the past ten years, the Fine Arts Connection Artists have filled the walls with artwork. Take a self-guided tour of this notable gem. Come and enjoy the history, the architecture and the artworks of the Ten-2-One Artists.

This event is in conjunction with the Thomaston Opera House Theater tours 10 am – 3 pm. A special stage presentation at 2 pm will focus on the Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney legacy.
