Weekly Open Studio
Free Open Studio Sessions for 2025 ended. We hope to begin again in February 2026 from 10:00 am to 1:00pm at Hamden's Miller Library in the first floor Program Room. Arrive any time after 9:30 to get set up. The sessions at the library will be more for independent projects, a time to finish up paintings, do some sketching and to enjoy each other's company. We have reserved the space through the end of April (April 24th), as long as interest and participation continues. It is a relatively small space, but it is well lit and has access to water and bathrooms. No registration required.
