Support Local Artisans AND do a Little Holiday Shopping Dec 5th
Support local artisans and do a little — or a LOT — of holiday shopping! Pick up some one-of-a-kind gifts while enjoying light refreshments, festive piano music (and perhaps sing along!), as well as chances to win artisan gifts.
Join us on Thursday, December 5th anytime from 4 to 7:30 p.m. at Arts Escape located at 88 Main Street South in Southbury. This is a great opportunity to check out their gallery and workshop space should you ever want to take a drawing, painting, colored pencil, zentangle or other class.

Ten Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Leonardo da Vinci
We thought we’d mark the 500th year anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci by filling you in on some strange facts about the man and his works. Also, just so you know, in the event you are heading to France, there will be an exhibit at the Louvre celebrating the 500th year since his death. The exhibit opened Oct. 24th, but don’t fret, you have a little time; it runs through Feb. 24, 2020. It will include some 160 pieces that are borrowed from Italy, UK and elsewhere that include Da Vinci masterpieces, studies and scientific sketches, and some pieces by other artists in his realm. There will also be a very special virtual reality exhibit that uncovers some of the story behind the most famous “Mona Lisa.”
