Sunday July 7
11am – 1pm

355 Quinnipiac St, Wallingford

Water wheels once powered vast factories, including the Wallace complex, which we’ll explore with Bob Beaumont from Wallingford Historical Society. Join as we learn and draw together!

 — Quinnipiac is roughly translated to long water land,” a name given by Indigenous peoples who lived along the river long before European settlement. Later, the river became intrinsically tied to the history of New Haven and many other towns in its watershed.
 — After a brief talk we will explore the site and sketch, then share our drawings together as a group. 
 — No drawing experience necessary! We use sketching as a tool for observing, capturing, and reflecting on our surroundings.
 — Some art supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own.
 — Bring water and sun/weather/bug protection. We will be next to a river, after all!
 — Heavy rain will reschedule; check back for info. For more information about the project visit https://elycenter.org/long-water-land.
