Art-full Autumn Day Trip to Connecticut's Gold Coast

About

The Glass House, built between 1949 and 1995 by architect Philip Johnson, is a National Trust Historic Site located on 49-acres of pastoral landscape. It also features a permanent collection of 20th-century painting and sculpture.

We’ll have a two hour private guided tour of both the house & gallery before a delicious brunch at the Elm in picturesque downtown New Canaan, walking distance from the Glass House.

The afternoon brings a guided tour of the 52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone exhibit at the Aldrich Art Museum. The exhibit celebrates the 51st anniversary of the historic exhibition and showcases work by the artists included in the original 1971 exhibition, alongside a new roster of twenty-six female identifying or nonbinary emerging artists, tracking the evolution of feminist art practices over the past five decades.
