In the Community

We continue to value and build upon our important relationships with our closest nonprofit cultural neighbors—the Stonington Free Library, the Stonington Historical Society, James Merrill House, and the Stonington Garden Club, which all regularly use our space for their public programming. We are active members of Stonington Nonprofits, the Stonington Business Merchants Association, the Cultural Coalition, and the CT Arts Alliance, as well as three area chambers of commerce—Greater Mystic, Ocean Community, and Eastern Connecticut. And we are an annual site for the Mystic Film Festival and proud annual participants in the annual Stonington 4th of July Parade!

Recent special projects with additional partners in the region include:
