Long Water Land is a free community education and art-making series along the Quinnipiac River hosted by the Ely Center of Contemporary Art, New Haven Sketchers, and other partners.

SITE NO. 3: WATER POWER

Sunday July 7
11am–1pm
Wallingford Dog Park
355 Quinnipiac St, Wallingford
Parking lots at dog park or in Silversmith Industrial Park

Water wheels once powered vast factories, including the Wallace complex, which we'll explore with Bob Beaumont from Wallingford Historical Society.


After a brief talk we will explore each 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 events; check back for info.
