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, April 9th, 2026 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

SPRING IS IN THE AIR art show @ Crescent Gallery now thru June 4th

The Fine Arts Connection of Thomaston presents Spring is in the Air at the Cresent Gallery 155 Main Street Thomaston. The Ten-2-One Artists and their friends in the Photo Club have filled the walls with a colorful exhibit. This show is running through June 4. The gallery is in full bloom with florals, green pastures, coastal views and so much more. Sixteen artists have participated, creating a wide range of styles and mediums. After a very long year of construction at the Opera House, it’s finally complete and the Gallery is open again. It’s great to be back and to see all the art on the walls again.

Visit the Crescent Gallery on Thursdays from 10am-1pm and watch us work. The Crescent is also open one hour before show times of the Landmark Theatre Sunday Matinees. You can view our group’s work on line @ Ten-2-OneArtists.com or on Facebook (Ten-2-One Artists). Photo is an Acrylic painting, “Focus on Crocus” by Pat Piscopo.

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.
Or visit online: www.ten-2-oneartists.com or www.facebook.com/CrescentGallery
