Patchwork: Connecticut Artists Consider 250
In June 2026, the Florence Griswold Museum will mount a juried exhibition of contemporary art to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States. As the historic home of the Lyme Art Colony (1900–1937), the Museum will highlight its legacy of supporting contemporary artists by inviting today’s Connecticut-based artists to submit work that addresses themes of American identity and history over the country’s past 250 years. How do Connecticut artists represent, contribute to, define, and reconsider American identity and history?
