SUMMARY:Lockwood-Matthews Mansion: Irish American Art in collaboration with Quinnipiac University
DESCRIPTION:On March 12\, 2026\, 12-4 p.m.\, The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum\, in collaboration with Quinnipiac University and Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield\, will inaugurate its 2026 Season with the opening of a new exhibition titled\,  A Journey of Hope: The Irish American Immigrant Experience\, followed by a reception at 5:30-7:30 p.m. generously sponsored by O’Neill’s Irish Pub and Restaurant\, and featuring music from The Shamrogues. The show will run through May 17\, 2026\, and feature paintings and sculptures displayed in the Mansion’s Art Gallery as well as in the Servants’ Quarters. Viewing will be included with the purchase of a guided tour. Please visit www.lockwoodmathewsmansion.com for additional information. \nFormer President of Ireland\, Michael D. Higgin stated that “The Irish Famine of 1845 to 1852 was the greatest social calamity\, in terms of morality and suffering\, that Ireland has ever experienced. From 1845 to 1855\, over 1.5 million people emigrated from Ireland to America searching for a better life. This exhibition will highlight the topic of Irish immigration to America in the 19th century using art as a visual reference. This exhibit will connect directly to the early history of the Mansion\, when most of the domestic staff was Irish and where today’s visitors will have an opportunity to revisit the Servants’ Quarters with an installation of sculptures by Irish American artists. \nIreland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield contains the world’s largest collection of Great Hunger-related art by noted contemporary Irish and Irish American artists as well as several period paintings by some of Ireland’s most important 19th-century artists. Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield exists at the intersection of art\, history\, and moral imagination. Rooted in the story of Ireland\, but speaking to the wider world\, the museum strives to remember what happens when a society turns away from its most vulnerable – and to honor the resilience of those who endure. \nThis exhibition will be curated by Ryan Mahoney who is the Project Manager at the Springfield Museums in Springfield\, MA. A graduate of St. John Fisher College (BA) and the University at Albany (MA)\, Mahoney has over 15-years of experience working in the museum field\, including serving as Executive Director for both the Irish American Heritage Museum in Albany\, NY and Ireland’s Great \nHunger Museum at Quinnipiac University in Hamden\, CT. Active in the Irish American Community\, Mahoney has served as a national board member for the Irish American Cultural Institute and as a board member of the United Irish Societies of the Capital District. He also was an active member of the Albany St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee. In 2016\, Mahoney was named a recipient of the 40 under 40 Award by the Irish Echo. \nLMMM’s contemporary art exhibits are sponsored in part by Designer/Artist/Author Gail Ingis\, and Kathy Olsen\, CPA.LMMM’s 2026 programs are made possible in part by LMMM’s 2026 Season Distinguished Benefactors: The City of Norwalk\, The Maurice Goodman Foundation\, Inc.\, and Lockwood-Mathews Foundation\, Inc.; LMMM’s Leadership Patrons: Dr. Michele and Attorney Miklos Koleszar; and The Sealark Foundation.
