New art gallery opens at Holy Family Center in West Hartford

The Golden Thread Gallery is a new nonprofit arts organization established in 2013 with the mission of connecting the human spirit through the arts at the Holy Family Passionist Retreat Center, located at 303 Tunxis Road.

The gallery will host "Paint the Grounds," a wine tasting and art auction from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, May 30. The opening of its first exhibit "Stillness" is scheduled at 7 p.m. on Sat., Sept.14.

The Golden Thread Gallery has created a beautiful and professional gallery space and established new and exciting ways to support artists.

"Our goal is to inspire artists to create meaningful work that seeks to challenge, and educate the viewer," Kate Wilson, co- founder and curator.

 The Golden Thread is the invisible, underlying connector that weaves the spirit of humanity, revealing differences and illuminating what is common.  The golden quality of this project dictates the art should reflect our higher nature, art that can and will uplift, inspire, challenge and provoke as well as unite the artists with one another, and with the viewer.

The Golden Thread Gallery will regularly schedule inspirational exhibits, talks, lectures and workshops that will provide a wide and diverse perspective that will creatively enhance and impact our faith through artistic exploration.

"We are so pleased that the Golden Thread Gallery has chosen Holy Family for their home, now known for our professional and inspiring music ministry, this gallery will add a new visual dimension to further enhance the important we do here, as well as open up Holy Family to a whole new group of visitors," said Father David Cinquegrani, retreat director.
