Gallery Talk: Art and Grief with Melinda Bottone and Lindsey Fyfe

When confronted with the loss of a loved one, art can be a powerful tool to help us acknowledge and work through our grief. Join Melinda Bottone, bereavement coordinator at Masonicare Home Health, Hospice & Palliative Care, and museum educator Lindsey Fyfe as they reflect on artworks in Between Life & Death and the museum’s collection that connect with loss and the grieving process. Free with admission.

Presented in partnership with Masonicare, Connecticut’s largest not-for-profit integrated senior care continuum responsible for the care of more than 4,600 Connecticut patients and residents a day across the state.
