The Litchfield Historical Society is excited to announce the return of our silent auction art show this spring with Looking Ahead on Friday, May 29. We would like to invite you to participate in this year’s event! It would be a great pleasure to have your work part of the auction.
Looking Ahead is inspired not only by the long-awaited spring, but to this year’s celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Alongside the reflection of the last 250 years, A250 organizations from the national to the local level are using this year as an opportunity to be future-minded, to “look ahead” to the next 250 years.

The Litchfield History Museum, 7 South Street, Litchfield, CT 06759

All media: paintings, photographs, collages, mixed media, fabric, jewelry, etc. are welcome!
Only one work or collection of work per artist, to ensure space for all who participate.
Works of all shapes are encouraged, so long as they stay within the 10”x10” guidelines.
To encourage multiple bids, all works will start at $50 with minimum bid increments of $25.
This event typically draws between 150 and 200+ people; it is a great opportunity to showcase your work to the community!
