There are at least four openings or ongoing exhibits that sound remotely interesting to me.
First, for an old standby, the Wadsworth Atheneum has “Martin Luther King Jr.: Life, Times and Legacy” until April 27, 2008. This exhibit marks the 40th anniversary of King’s assassination. The Wadsworth is open Wednesday-Sunday. On Monday January 21, they will be open for MLK Day, and admission will be free that day.
Tomorrow night is the opening reception of [un+art] a collection of un+defined, un+juried, un+censored artworks in the tri-state area, celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Hartford ArtSpace Gallery from 6-9. This exhibition at ArtSpace (555 Asylum) will close on January 27th. Admission is free. The money from any artwork purchased will go entirely to the artist.
I’m most excited about Paper/New England, a new-as-of-2007 art center in Hartford. January 15th is the opening of a juried show at the Bushnell Promenade Gallery.
On January 17th, coinciding with Creative Cocktail Hour, Bradley Dean Wollman‘s exhibit, The Little War, will be opening at Real Art Ways. The CCH runs from 6-10pm.
