Washington’s Music on the Green series runs Fridays in June and July on the Washington Green and features musical acts and artists from a wide range of genres.
Last summer’s series saw hundreds of music fans from all over the state gather together in this idyllic setting to listen to a variety of musical acts while enjoying a homemade picnic or one made by Washington’s fabulous PO Cafe. Washington’s Music on the Green summer series continues on Friday Nights in June and July from 6:30 to 8:00 pm (kicking off June 9th).
We currently seek high-energy, polished, family-friendly performers of any musical genre. Selected artists will perform a 60-to-90-minute set. If you, your band, or group are interested in sharing your musical talents on the Washington Green one Friday night this coming June or July, please follow our submission guidelines by March 31, 2023 to be considered: Submission Form
Thank you to the artists and audience for joining us in this celebration of summer in Connecticut!

Pilobolus was founded fifty years ago by non-dancers who believed that everyone can access creativity and connect with their bodies through movement. Now, you can take advantage of that expertise to help improve one of the most important aspects of our long-term wellness: your BALANCE. You might not think of it often, but balance is behind everything we do – from dancing onstage to keeping up with kids & grandkids.
Connecting with Balance is based on a half century of techniques that playfully increase your body’s capacity for mobility, stability and expression – and improves your wellbeing. We have two options: our professionally-recorded streaming video series, and live classes held over Zoom.

Byrde the is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by the contemporary abstract artist and master colorist Steven Miller.
Mr. Miller works in oils on canvas in combination with images inspired by nature. He works in a series of paintings, usually working on from three to four at a time. He states that “These works still hold a strong fascination for me and continue to provide me with boundless inspiration. The work I produce is all about color, form and simplicity”. Life quite simply as a force of nature captured on canvas.
Steven Miller has exhibited his work across the United States from New York to Los Angeles, and in Europe from London to Cologne. He is a Vinalhaven Fellow, a Rubenstein Scholar, and a Parsons School of Design Scholar. His work has been featured in “Sex in the City” and on the tv sitcom “Frasier” and in major Hollywood films.
Mr. Miller’s work is in many private and public collections in the United States, Europe and Asia. His work has been added to the permanent collections of the University of Virginia’s Bayly Art Museum and the Savannah College of Art & Design Museum in Georgia.

Event Details
In an immersive forest setting with no locks, keys or clocks, Wigwam Escape’s thematic puzzles challenge game players to hunt, find water and prepare food similar to how Native people did for thousands of years prior to European contact. The Institute for American Indian Studies, proudly presents a new way to interact with history, a themed escape room, Wigwam Escape.
Our museum’s mission is to “preserve and educate through discovery and creativity the diverse traditions, vitality and knowledge of Native American cultures”. We chose an escape room setting as an interactive and captivating way to educate the public about how pre-contact Native peoples lived within their environment over 500 years ago. This hand-on experience of history is demonstrated through a series of custom puzzles and hand crafted set, complete with a full sized traditionally sourced wigwam.
The full experience is 90 minutes in the museum’s Research Center. This includes a pre-game orientation, the one hour escape room centerpiece, and post-game popcorn snack and discussion when your team returns to the 21st Century. The game is set for 3 to 7 players and the cost is $25 per person, or $20 for our museum members or students.
More than just a game, Wigwam Escape is built to teach through experience and foster dialogue in a game that’s dynamic, challenging and entertaining. Visit Wigwam Escape for this must-do team building experience for friends, families and co-workers.
For more information or to book your escape room, go to: wigwamescape.org.

Byrde + the b is pleased to announce Faith Vicinanza “Color Meditations” an exhibit of mandala paintings opening Saturday July 17, 2021 from 5-7pm. The exhibition runs through Saturday, September 4, 2021.
Her painting takes time, is very meditative and focused. The defining criterion for a dot painting is the technique itself — repeated imprints of a paint covered brush, dotting stick or other implement onto the painting surface and in doing so, there are recognizable ‘dot’ marks on the painting surface. Pointillism, which leans more to being abstract than to having the discipline of a modern dot painting, is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. Dot painting, however, seeks a level of perfection and precision in the dots that is not inherent in pointillism.
The word mandala comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. Literally, mandala means “circle.” The circle is seen as a magical form, without beginning and end, just as the universe is believed to have no end. Ms. Vicinanza’s work is sometimes driven by or centered on or informed by the idea of a mandala though not strictly. In her often over-committed life, dot painting has become a way to stop, sit, clear her mind, be with the paint, the patterns, allowing her pieces to emerge organically and rarely does she have a set idea of where the painting will go. This approach produces unique, one-of-a-kind works that are distinct and drenched in color.
Her mantra “Slow down, enjoy the moment” is also her artist statement. Put another way, there is only this moment, watch it unfold, watch the painting unfold, the rain, the new grass, enjoy mixing colors, or a walk in the early hours of a new day. Take your time with her painting, look closely, enjoy the moment.
