As a way to celebrate the season, we invited our attendees to help us give back to our community by bringing new or gently used art supplies to donate to the Torrington Area Families for Autism (TAFA). Artists and professionals alike came together, bringing a variety of exciting supplies for TAFA.

The Arts Council provided guests with the option to participate in an "Arts and Culture" themed ice breaker bingo as a way to connect and meet new people. Many smiles and great conversations filled the room as people talked with friends, old and new.
