On Thursday, February 27 at 6pm Hill-Stead Museum will host Tony Yurgaitis, owner of Arethusa Farm in Litchfield, for a conservation about art collecting with our Executive Director, Dr. Anna Swinbourne.
Tony’s personal story, which fuses appreciation of art of all kinds with a passion for farming, is a familiar one at Hill-Stead. Tony and members of the Pope family, who also designed lives filled with art and agriculture, are kindred spirits across centuries. Hear him share fascinating stories of his journeys in both realms!
The conversation will take place in the exhibition gallery, surrounded by the artwork from Arethusa’s collection now on view there, and will be followed by a cocktail reception.
Tickets: $30 members; $35 non-members
The exhibition The Arethusa Collection: From Italian Renaissance to Contemporary British Art is on view through April 27, 2025.
