In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Hygienic and all the great people who have contributed to its founding, growth, organization, community, and creative endevours. Thank you to its founding members, to those who have dedicated years of their life to keep it moving forward. To the hundred and hundreds of artists, who contributed their artistic talents over the years to the salon show. Such as @katiefogg whose painting is in the photo. Thank you to current team, board and staff members that keep it moving forward day to day, event to event. I also want to give a shout out of appreciation to the many volunteers both long timers or first timers like the great couple in this photo. Yesterday from coast guard members to life long supporters, a great team of volunteers kept the art intake process flowing smoothly. Thank you to my cousin @barrywatrous for coming over with his art and camera when I called him. Thanks Barry for creating this photo collage. #newlondon #hygienic #hygienic40 #artct #conneticut #bankstreet #art #artlife #communityart #volunteers #creativity #whalercity #festival #festivallife #supportart #salonshow #artnewlondon #artists #artcommunity #thanks #thanksforthememories #40thanniversary #katiefogg #barrywatrous In memory of Jim Stidfole, whose example of creative contributions and leadership are lessons to be learned by all of us. #jimstidfole @jimstidfole (at Hygienic Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJmpdzA4Pv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qm8grhbm3zos
