Gallery Opening

Village Center for the Arts Presents: “Don’t Forget 2 Live” Featuring Richie Nigro
Saturday, March 7th from 6:30–8:00 PM.

Village Center for the Arts (VCA), located at 12 Main Street in New Milford, CT is proud to present “Don’t Forget 2 Live”, a gallery exhibition featuring artist Richie Nigro (also known as RFX Art). The opening reception will take place on Saturday, March 7th from 6:30–8:00 PM. This event is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served.

Richie Nigro is an award-winning tattoo artist whose creative work extends beyond skin to canvas. Originally from Long Island, NY, and raised in Danbury, CT, Richie brings a bold, high-energy style to his paintings, creating a vibrant world that moves between portraiture and abstract expression.

His work is driven by a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression, drawing inspiration from music, fashion, and culture. Color, design, and emotion are central to his pieces, which reflect both personal storytelling and a universal connection to living fully in the moment.

“Don’t Forget 2 Live” invites viewers to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with the joy and presence of creating. Through dynamic compositions and vibrant color, Richie’s work encourages us to celebrate life and the beauty of creative freedom.

6:30–10:00 PM
Ages 21+

Step away from your screen and into the studio. A Studio Affair is a chance to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with yourself, with others, and with the simple joy of creating.

As a nonprofit, we’re dedicated to offering adults a relaxed, welcoming space to unwind and explore the arts with no pressure, no expectations, and no experience required.

Whether you’re meeting new people, taking time to creative , or just craving a phone-free evening, this is time well spent. Creating art has a powerful way of calming the mind, boosting well-being, and helping you feel present and this night is all about that.

This is a great time to work on your junk journal – or that craft you haven’t
had time to finish. Bring a project you’re already working on!

We’ll be spinning vinyl to set the vibe, and it’s BYOB if you’d like to sip while you create.
