welcome

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, words, 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.

WRITER’S GROUP!

The Fine Arts Connection of Thomaston (FACT) announces the creation of a Writer’s Group!

Writing is a form of art, which is the purpose of the Fine Arts Connection of Thomaston! Writing, like drawing, painting, music, dance, pottery can be a way of an individual expressing their thoughts or feelings. Creative writing runs the gamut from simple journaling, to writing a book! We would love to have writers join us for our monthly meetings to learn from each other. We can all improve our writing skills with confidence, and the support of other members. Currently, we are working on a literary magazine that will showcase our writings, along with photos and art from other FACT groups. Our next meeting is on Thursday, November 20th at 5:00 pm in the Meeting Room 1 at the Town Hall. Do join us!

Call/text Vinni at 860-921-7856 for more information

WINTER MODE ART EXHIBIT – Now until the end of January
St. Peter’s Trinity Church, Thomaston, CT

“Central Park Bridge, Winter”
by Carmina Ayazides

Enjoy the artwork of FACT’s Ten-2-One Artists at St Peter’s Trinity Church. “Winter Mode” is the theme, and the exhibit is open till the end of January. Our open studio sessions are open to the public every Thursday . Visitors can enjoy a hot cup of coffee, watch the artists work and peruse the artwork that fills the walls.

For “Winter Mode” artists were asked to share their renditions of winter, the landscapes and magic of the season. Every interpretation is distinctive. Some artists painted birds, barns, water ways, sunsets and holiday décor. Each one so unique.

We are so grateful to St Peters for the usage of this wonderful bright and spacious hall. Gathering here is a gift, and having a place to exhibit our creations painted within these walls is “the icing on the cake”.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the works please notice the artist contact info on the painting labels. Know that 20% commission is split between the church and FACT. View more of the Ten-2-One Artworks @ www.Ten-2-OneArtists.com

For additional information contact Pat Piscopo @ 860-283-2155

The Ten-2-One Artists and some passer-byes have painted these sunflowers.
In fact, artists across the world have been painting sunflowers to show solidarity for Ukraine. According to a 1993 Encyclopedia of Ukraine, in the context of war, sunflowers signify that Russia will not crush Ukraine’s spirit. This public art piece was created to journey forward to bring awareness.

The Artists of Fine Arts Connection of Thomaston hope that a business, organization, or person would be interested and willing to publicly display this tribute and coordinate donations to help the people of Ukraine.

For more information, visit the Crescent Gallery any Thursday from 10 am to 1 pm and meet the artists.
