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.

SUMMARY:A Protest History of the United States/Author Event with Gloria J. Browne-Marshall (in-person)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person\, moderated conversation with Gloria J. Browne-Marshall\, to discuss A Protest History of the United States. \nExploring 500 years of resistance movements in US history—and how lasting change results from diverse forms of sustained protest\n\nIn this timely new book in Beacon’s successful ReVisioning History series\, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples’ resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today’s climate change demonstrations\, Browne-Marshall sheds light on known and forgotten movements and their unsung leaders\, offering insights into past successes and setbacks. \nDrawing upon legal documents\, archival material\, memoir\, government documents and secondary sources\, A Protest History of the United States expands the definition of protest beyond traditional marches and rallies. Acts of resistance also include journalism\, legal battles\, boycotts\, everyday defiance\, and more. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. You’ll read the stories of: \n\nabolitionist John Brown\, who was executed for initiating the 1859 slave revolt at Harpers Ferry\nlabor organizer Mother Jones\, who fought for the enforcement of the 8-hour workday\ncivil rights activist Daisy Bates\, who played a leading role in the 1957 Little Rock Integration Crisis\n\nAs contemporary movements struggle with inertia and doubt\, Browne-Marshall underscores the essential role of protest as an American tradition in shaping and preserving democratic principles. By illuminating the strategies and sacrifices of activists past and present\, A Protest History of the United States empowers readers to find their own voice in today’s fights for justice. \nAbout the Series \nBeacon Press’s ReVisioning History series consists of accessibly written books by notable scholars that reconstruct and reinterpret US history from diverse perspectives. \nGloria J. Browne-Marshall is a professor of constitutional law and Africana studies at John Jay College (CUNY)\, an award-winning writer\, and a legal commentator. She has litigated cases for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund\, the Southern Poverty Law Center\, and Community Legal Services. Her previous works include She Took Justice: The Black Woman\, Law\, and Power and The Voting Rights War. A frequent commentator on CNN\, NPR\, and MSNBC\, Browne-Marshall has received numerous accolades\, including the 2024 American Bar Association Silver Gavel Award.

SUMMARY:Stone Footprints: The Wandering Plaque of 1911
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Museum for a FREE presentation where Jennifer Klau\, Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford\, will share an exciting new research project that illuminates the experiences of the Jewish immigrants that once made the North End of Hartford their home. Ccome early to visit our new exhibition\, “Drawn Here: Stories from Hartford’s North End.” \nWhat is the Wandering Plaque of 1911? \nAn enormous marble plaque from 1911\, serendipitously rediscovered in the basement of a Hartford school building\, sparked a fascinating research dive into long-demolished buildings\, extinct and extant community institutions\, continuity and change. The story of this slab of marble illustrates the comings and goings of Hartford’s Jewish community from its roots in the North End to its eventual and complete migration to the suburbs. \nThe plaque’s journey from one building to another\, where it was abandoned for about 75 years as the community moved away\, is an example of rich heritage that can easily disappear and a hopeful story about recovering the past. \nA companion program to the Making History\, Making Change Lecture Series organized by Smithsonian Affiliations. \nAbout the Speaker: \nJennifer Klau is the Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford. Before embracing her inner history nerd\, Jennifer worked in the healthcare sciences realm as Director of Research for a healthcare startup\, Adjunct Professor at Central Connecticut State University and as a Master Instructor for the SpinningTM program\, training instructors and creating and presenting continuing education courses. \nKlau has served as the President of Beth David Synagogue in West Hartford\, CT twice\, heads several committees and continues to serve on its board.

SUMMARY:How NYC Became the Art Capital of the World
DESCRIPTION:After World War II\, the center of the art world shifted from Paris to New York. It is here that new modern art styles and movements were born\, such as Abstract Expressionism\, Minimalism\, Conceptualism\, Color Field\, and Pop Art. Many artists from Europe migrated to New York\, seeking new opportunities. In addition\, American artists such as Jackson Pollock\, Sol LeWitt\, Mark Rothko\, Alex Katz\, and Roy Lichtenstein emerged onto the art scene and were central to these movements. Consultant Scott Verchin will discuss how  New York’s museums are collectively evolving into becoming the world’s leading cultural institutions for fine art.  Advance registration appreciated.

SUMMARY:Daughter of Egypt: Marie Benedict Author Event (Ticketed Event/Fundraiser)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person\, ticketed event with Marie Benedict\, sponsored by the Friends of the Avon Library. \nTickets are available now: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/rq972yy \nNew York Times bestselling novelist Marie Benedict transports readers from the glamour and turbulence of 1920s Britain and Cairo to the sands and lush shores of ancient Egypt in Daughter of Egypt (on-sale: March 24\, 2026). Known for her “delightful blend of historical fiction and suspense\,” Benedict weaves a sweeping tale of a young woman who unearths the truth about a forgotten Pharaoh\, rewriting both of their legacies forever. \nIn the 1920s\, archeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun. But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible. Though not a trained archaeologist\, Evelyn nonetheless pursued her passion\, determined to leave her mark on the field and be treated as an equal by her male colleagues. \nNearly 3\,000 years earlier\, another woman defied the expectations of her time: Hatshepsut\, Egypt’s lost pharaoh. From her father Thutmose I\, she learned how to lead and through her political savvy she rose to guide her kingdom to prosperity. By her side was her trusted adviser and secret lover\, Senemut. Though he was a commoner and she royalty\, together they formed a partnership that allowed a dynasty to flourish. Despite the fact that Hatshepsut’s reign was bold and successful\, it was nearly erased from history\, quite literally. \nWhen Evelyn travels with her father and Carter to Egypt to work on archaeological digs\, her obsession with finding Hatshepsut’s tomb deepens. She risks everything to uncover the truth about Hatshepsut’s reign and in the process is forced to confront the reality of the artifacts trade. Despite the mounting regulations that prohibit the removal of antiquities from Egypt\, dealers are selling them at alarming rates. With her assumptions challenged and her eyes newly opened\, Evelyn comes to see that Egypt is the rightful home of these prized artifacts. But as danger closes in and political tensions rise\, she faces an impossible choice: protect her father’s legacy—or forge her own. \nPropelled by high adventure and deadly intrigue\, Daughter of Egypt is the story of two ambitious women who lived centuries apart. Both were forced to hide who they were during their lifetimes\, yet ultimately changed history forever. \n  \nMARIE BENEDICT is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Queens of Crime\, The Mitford Affair\, Her Hidden Genius\, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie\, The Only Woman in the Room\, Lady Clementine\, Carnegie’s Maid\, The Other Einstein\, and with Victoria Christopher Murray\, the Good Morning America Book Club pick The Personal Librarian and the Target Book of the Year The First Ladies. All have been translated into multiple languages\, and many have been selected for the Barnes & Noble Book Club\, Target Book Club\, Costco Book Club\, Indie Next List\, and LibraryReads List. She lives in Pittsburgh with her family.

SUMMARY:A Goodnight Kiss
DESCRIPTION:In 1863\, a time when handwritten letters carried news of hope or despair\, a correspondence began between two young New England residents whose relationship blossomed in the shadow of the Civil War. Missed opportunities\, unreliable mail\, and the ever-present threat of tragedy raised profound obstacles that would make or break their bond. This dramatization of the deeply moving real-life correspondence between two individuals proves the triumph of human connection despite all adversity. \nBased on actual love letters\, this historical drama was produced and directed by veteran TV/film actress Kathy Kelly and written by award-winning\, internationally acclaimed playwright Cinzi Lavin. \nRSVP to reserve your free ticket! \nLWVCT is proud to be a CT affiliate organization for America 250. This event is a part of the year-long celebration.

SUMMARY:The Monthly Slice: A Conversation with Modern Apizza’s Bill Pustari
DESCRIPTION:“Keeping It All in the Family: A Conversation with Modern Apizza’s Bill Pustari\,” will take place on Thursday\, April 2\, 2026\, at 6 pm\, at the New Haven Museum (NHM). The talk is the latest offering in “The Monthly Slice” series of programs at NHM\, presented in conjunction with the ongoing exhibition\, “Pronounced Ah-Beetz.” Free with regular museum admission. Register here. \nModerated by Gorman Bechard\, director of “Pizza A Love Story\,” the discussion offers an opportunity to ask questions of one of the premier pizza makers in the world. Pustari grew up as a pizza man and went to what he likes to call “pizza university.” He bought Modern Apizza in 1988 and turned it into a nationally recognized pizza restaurant. \nModern has consistently been ranked as one of the 10 best pizzerias in the country\, and one of the “Big Three” in New Haven. “Pizza Today” magazine named Modern the 2023 Pizzeria of the Year. Having always kept it a family affair\, Pustari runs Modern with the help of his wife Mary\, and their children\, William and Arianna\, and a dedicated staff\, many of whom have been with Pustari for decades. \nThe “Pronounced Ah-Beetz” exhibition at NHM includes first-hand oral histories and pizza-related artifacts from personal collections\, video footage adapted from the documentary and photographs. The exhibition’s title comes from the way many people mispronounce the word apizza\, which originally grew out of the Italian la pizza. The exhibition will remain on view through October 2027.
