Connecticut River Museum’s Annual Brenda Milkofsky Curatorial Fund Dinner

Don’t miss this splendid evening. Support the Connecticut River Museum’s collections and archives and enjoy lively conversation, a delectable dinner, and the chance to engage with one of Connecticut’s finest historians, Amy Kurtz Lansing, Curator at the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut.

For over a century, the Wiggins family of artists—Carleton, Guy C., and Guy A.—recorded southeastern Connecticut’s scenic waterways, towns, and landscapes in their paintings. Committed teachers, they encouraged their pupils to do the same, most notably at the Guy Wiggins Art School that Guy C. opened in Essex during the Great Depression. Celebrating the donation of Guy C. Wiggins’s painting of a dock now belonging to the Museum, this lecture by Amy Kurtz Lansing will illustrate the family’s artistic legacy in Connecticut, from Old Lyme to Essex.
