January 31, 2022 Terina Blouin

Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

Mystic Darkroom never ceases to amaze with its stunning performances. From classics like the Nutcracker to pieces unique to Mystic Ballet, every show offers fresh and exciting contemporary twists. Every member of the company is allowed to showcase individual skill and personality, but they work seamlessly together in every capacity, from duets to group numbers. The skill, passion, and talent is evident in every moment of every performance. Mystic Ballet is a hidden gem of artistic expression in the least likely of places.

HUE Studio is the working studio of internationally collected artist Jennifer Sabella that is open to learning, creativity and fun. Workshops are designed around my own artistic practice - I want to promote experimentation in the world of abstract art without intimidation. Lessons are given in my bright home studio in the center of Historic Litchfield, where I teach the palette knife technique I use in my own work. The beauty of HUE Studio is that no two works are the same. The end result is completely determined by the artist's imagination and color choices.
