Despite the big chill of January, AMP never slowed up, with lots of visitors braving the cold to come to see the mural and make fire art tiles with visitor services staffers Eli, Sky, and Michaela and interns Nick and Joyce. I am guessing part of our guests' motivation is just to warm up. Creating these tiles is so much fun, and they are yours to bring home. They are the perfect Valentine for someone who couldn’t come with you.
Now February is entering with a bang. This Saturday, The New Mosaic leads off the LIVE @AMP 2025 season with one of my favorite vocalists: Erica Tracy. She'll be accompanied by bassist Tom Sullivan, Mike Carabello on keyboard, and Dwayne Keith on drums. I guarantee you will not be able to sit still, and what better way to warm up than dancing in our space to this great band?
For me, this month is going to be spent returning to the schools involved in our Regeneration Project. I am so thrilled with the work these phenomenal art teachers and students all around Connecticut. So many different approaches have been taken. The students are really digging deep in their collaborative effort to create a statement about contribution. In forming better habits and making changes that are sometimes tough, we can eliminate contaminants from the environment that threaten wildlife and sea creatures, not to mention a chance to save us from ourselves. But we ALL need to get involved. Nothing here is easy but nothing good comes from leaving the work to others.
