When I moved to the Hartford area, it was at first tough to find communities and ways to connect…read morewith others. I only came across the West Hartford Art League by chance through an event posting, and I have been an avid follower and supporter since. WHAL offers great classes for youth and adults, for beginners and experts. There are also lots of awesome showcases of locals' work - including some of my own photos once or twice - of different media. They always have a nice opening reception - often with free food and drink - which is a really nice touch and a way to meet others. Separately, I have also come here for a few mostly food events, like the CT Eats Out supper club inaugural event. There's really something for everyone here, and I am thankful to have found out about WHAL. Consider yourself now informed!

This is a really neat little venue! I didn't realize it existed so close to me until recently, when…read moreI attended an event through CT Eats Out supper club. I really enjoyed getting the chance to view some local art by some really talented folks! Now that this location is on my radar, I am going to be checking in so see what other events they host. I heard that they also have done photography showings in the past. The venue itself is a tad tough to find just going by google maps, but once you realize where it is, parking is super easy. It's small but cozy, well laid-out, and adorable. I found the atmosphere for the event dinner to be extremely charming, and the staff were amazing. I'll be back, WeHa Art League. Keep doing what you're doing!

I am not a member yet but I intend to become one. There is also an art gallery which I have not explored yet. I took a star off because the popcorn was not great. I only got it once. Maybe it wasn't fresh. I'm going back tomorrow to see the movie one last time before it's gone and will check out the art gallery and try the popcorn again!

"It was just my imagination Runnin' away with me"…read more(The Temptations) Imagination Art Skill Creative Vision Entrepreneurship All of these human talents and attributes collide big time inside the massive Whiting Mills Complex. Here you'll find artist studios, shops, businesses and classes occupying an ancient brick factory building to transform it into a center for artistic, community, and social events. There are close to 60 tenants inside the complex - artists of every description, a photography studio, specialty shops featuring kitchen and bath items, candles, baskets, silver creations, clothing, jewelry, stairs and woodworking items, health and well being products, even a ferrier selling horse shoes and horse supplies. I love the way that so many old cities have reclaimed old mill buildings and gave them new life using this model. You will definitely enjoy wandering the long hallways and exploring the shops inside Whiting Mills.

This is a wonderful, artistic, and vibrant collection of shops and artisans. If you need a unique…read moregift, Whiting Mills will have it for you. They have soaps, candles, bears, paintings, solar power lights, so on, and so on. The building itself is a lot of fun to walk around in, being an old factory. It is amazingly clean and the elevator (which has a manual stop) may not be for the faint of heart - but it is perfectly safe. Whiting Mills also has a Third Sunday open house which is a great time to stop by and see other artisans set up for the day as well - following them on Facebook is a wonderful way to find out what's going on there.
