Stonington Borough’s nonprofit cultural center presenting concerts, lectures, and art exhibitions to our region.
Join us for our Summer Soirée on Friday, August 13, 6-8 p.m. – tickets are $100. Click here for more details and information on how to RSVP.
Our 12th Annual Stonington Artists Exhibit opens Friday July 9 through August 29. This show features the work of talented local artists at all skill levels in a variety of artistic styles and media.
We have dedicated gallery hours on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday afternoons 1-4pm (excepting holidays and holiday weekends), during which times a staff member or volunteer will be available. People may also make an appointment to see the show, or can generally drop by for independent viewing weekdays during regular business hours. Note that since we are a small organization, these hours are occasionally subject to change. Please call ahead if you plan to visit outside of the dedicated gallery hours.
The Center's attention to detail and obvious appreciation of artwork make exhibiting
an easy and enjoyable experience. I especially appreciate the time and
effort put into hanging the art pieces. The La Grua Center offers an intimate
atmosphere of modest elegance and sophistication. Thank you for offering
this delightful venue.
I joined the La Grua Center as a volunteer a couple of years ago. I could never have anticipated the impact this wonderful facility would have on the Boro and surrounding areas. To have access to world class musicians, art exhibits, interesting speakers as well as all of the other events and programs, is such a gift to our community. We are so fortunate and I am thrilled to be a part of it!
As a supporter of the La Grua Center, I can't
think of a better resource that provides the Stonington community a wide variety of intellectual, musical, and artistic events. Additionally,
the use of the center for nutrition, dancing, exercise and yoga classes is yet
another way to strengthen the community while improving its members health and
welfare. Though we are not year round residents of Stonington, my husband and I
have taken advantage of the many exceptional talks and musical events
along with the yoga classes.
La Grua Center is the jewel box of the Borough. Music, visual arts, dance, health, wellness, and education are just some of the jewels within. It’s a wonderful and enriching resource for all.
We are so very fortunate at Mystic Middle School to have the opportunity
to have two of our select ensembles, jazz band and select singers
perform in this beautiful hall. The intimate setting, wonderful
acoustics, beautiful art adorning the walls, the set-up/break-down by
all participants and of course the quality of well diverse performers
makes this a memorable experience. Our students are so honored and
proud to perform at the La Grua Center, a special place in Stonington.
