We’ll be hosting a fun and interactive event with activities for all ages, including a pottery smash tent, face painting, a fundraising art auction, and more. As a small nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of our community to help us continue our mission. We believe that art has the power to bring people together, and we are passionate about making art accessible to everyone in New Milford and beyond.

In addition to our events and exhibitions, we offer programs like tuition assistance, our Studio Affair (a free monthly gathering), and the Unexpected Artist program, all designed to help people of all ages and backgrounds connect with their creative potential.

networking professionals special event venue

Rain did not deter huge turnout at networking event

The scenic views at the Aug. 8 Business Scene made up for less than favorable weather – rain. Despite early showers and then heavy rain, more than 100 business professionals attended August’s informal business networking event held at the wedding and special events venue, Candlelight Farms, in New Milford. Festivities were held in the farm’s Lower Barn, one of multiple locations on the 600-plus acre property where special events take place. Guests filled the spacious building, and also flowed out onto the Lower Barn’s wrap-around veranda that overlooks sprawling fields, woodland, and nearby mountains. This month’s event was sponsored by All American Waste. The venue, food and beverages were donated by Candlelight Farms, Rich’s Wings & Things, and Housatonic River Brewing, respectively. In addition to networking, attendees had an opportunity to win door prizes and a 50/50 raffle.
