The film will be making it's way to Connecticut this month. The movie will screen at UConn in Storrs on April 18th and at Yale in New Haven on the 19th.

Joe Smolinski


New Haven artist Joe Smolinski draws cell phone trees with very unique personalities. The details are really amazing that it's hard to believe you can get such great results from a graphite pencil. You can check out some of his drawings exhibited from April 10th - 28th at Artspace New Haven and even bid on an original at the Annual Gala Benefit Art Auction on Arpil 28th.

Bizarregoylz™


Bristol CT sculpter Jared Gagne came across the idea for his Bizarregoylz™ series while playing with clay on his kitchen table one day. The bizzaregoylz are all fully customized by Jared. It must be real sweet having an army of bizzaregoylz around the house.
