The Northwest Connecticut Arts Council, celebrating over two decades of arts advocacy, recently held its annual fundraiser, Arts Connected, on April 26 at Bryan Memorial Town Hall in Washington Depot. Co-chaired by designer Diane von Furstenberg and Antonia Steinberg of Buck’s Rock Camp, the event welcomed more than 250 guests for an evening of performances, visual art, and community connection. Highlights included a striking gallery of regional artists, local food and drink, and a powerful finale by Pilobolus. The $50,000 raised will support the Council’s mission to uplift the region’s vibrant creative community. —artsnwct.org
