The North section of Buena Vista Road will be closed to traffic from Mountain Road to the fork of Buena Vista. Art League Director Roxanne Stachelek noted that this is a more casual event than their annual fundraiser, which will be held in October this year at the Pond House Café.

“This night is different than our annual fundraiser. We want to encourage people to bring their friends, bid on some small works and enjoy a fun night out.” In case of cold weather or rain, the event will be moved to the Clubhouse Gallery at 37 Buena Vista Rd.

Tickets can be purchased through April 29^th on our website at http://westhartfordart.org/events-calendar/. All proceeds from the event will go to the West Hartford Art League’s building fund, which is used to maintain its three historic buildings which are used for classes and exhibitions.
