The Garde Arts Center, Inc. (GAC) is a non-profit cultural organization created in 1985 by a regional, volunteer network of leaders in business, arts, education and philanthropy. Their mission was to save and transform the historic Garde theatre, one of the few remaining historic movie palaces in Connecticut, and create a performing arts center in the heart of downtown New London serving Southeastern Connecticut, a region rich in geographic, economic, ethnic and cultural diversity.

Today, The Garde owns and operates a complex of four adjacent buildings in downtown New London, the centerpiece of which is the 1,472-seat Garde Theatre, an historic movie/vaudeville house (1926). Built in 1926 during the golden era of the motion pictures and vaudeville theatres, the recently restored Moroccan interior of the Garde Theatre, along with the new seats and state-of-the-art stage equipment, provide a very audience-friendly theatre venue in a warm and beautiful atmosphere. Today the Garde is becoming nationally recognized for its unique architecture and multi-faceted programming.

Hygienic Art Galleries
(& Art Park)

79-83 Bank Street
New London, CT 06320
(860)443-8001

Hours:
Thurs 11am to 3pm
Fri 11am to 6pm
Sat 11am to 6pm
Sunday Noon to 3pm

Hygienic Art, Inc. was created as an incorporated structure in the fall of 1979, when artists employed by a federal Comprehensive Education and Training Act (CETA) grant decided, as a final project, to hold an outsiders' art festival. The show was modeled after the "Salon Des Independants," a late 19th century art movement in Paris in which artists had protested the aristocracy by exhibiting their works in cafes located in the 'seamy' areas of the city. The artists in those exhibitions gave rise to the great French Impressionist movement. The exhibition was presented at the Hygienic Restaurant, New London's only 24 hour eatery, which had been open since 1919. The rules were simple; no judge, no jury, no fees, no censorship, one piece per artist and all were welcome. The show was an immediate success and the Hygienic Art Exhibition became an annual creative arts festival, attracting over 450 artists and an audience of thousands.The Hygienic Restaurant closed in 1985 and the show continued in other historic venues in the city. Hygienic Art was formally incorporated in 1987 to save the exhibition from speculators who wanted to use the Hygienic name to promote other festivals in the city. In 1996 the building that housed the Hygienic Restaurant was slated for demolition to become a parking lot for a bank. Originally built as a whaling company's provisioning store and crews' quarters, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Hygienic Art, Inc. led a statewide grassroots effort to save the building. Enlisting the support of the State's Attorney Generals Office, the Connecticut Historic Commission, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, City of New London, the Governor, State Legislators, the Connecticut Historic Commission, the Chester Kitchings Foundation, Community Foundation of S.E. Conn., Palmer/ Bodenwein Fund and thousands of private donors and volunteers, Hygienic Art bought and historically renovated this landmark building into a residential artists co-op and public art galleries. The building opened in January of 2000 for the 21st annual Hygienic Art Exhibition and stands as a testimony to community activism. Hygienic Art exists today as one of New London's premier community development projects and fine arts venue.

Events at the Art Park are always all ages; beer and wine are available for purchase for 21+; and most all events are by suggested donation.

O'Neill, The
(& Rose Barn Theater, Blue Gene's Pub)

305 Great Neck Road
Waterford, CT 06385
(860)443-5378

 

Founded in 1964 by George C. White and named in honor of America's only Nobel Prize-winning playwright, The O'Neill is home to six distinct programs: the O'Neill Playwrights Conference, Music Theater Conference, Puppetry Conference, National Theater Institute, Critics Institute and the Monte Cristo Cottage, O'Neill's childhood home located in neighboring New London. At The O'Neill, writers and directors, puppeteers and singers, students and audiences alike take their first steps in exploring, revising and understanding their work and the potential of the theater they help create.

The work of The O'Neill focuses on the script as it begins its journey to the stage. The actors work with minimal props and no sets or costumes, holding scripts in their hands, revealing for the first time the magic of a new play or musical, puppetry piece or cabaret act. Work first performed at The O'Neill has gone on to regional theaters, Broadway, movies and television. Students and professionals who have honed their skills at The O'Neill can be seen in these venues every day across the country. Others work behind the scenes as playwrights, directors, in stage management, publicity and a hundred other roles that the public never sees but are nonetheless essential to every production.

Staff and alumni from The O'Neill have won every major award in theater arts. The O'Neill itself is the winner of a special Tony Award, the National Opera Award, the Jujamcyn Award of Theater Excellence and the Arts and Business Council Encore Award. The seven hundred plays and musicals developed and premiered at The O'Neill include such notable works as John Guare's THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES, Brian Crawley and Jeanine Tesori's VIOLET, Wendy Wasserstein's UNCOMMON WOMEN AND OTHERS, August Wilson's MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM, FENCES and THE PIANO LESSON, Lee Blessing's A WALK IN THE WOODS, NINE by Arthur Kopit, Mario Fratti and Maury Yeston, AVENUE Q, IN THE HEIGHTS, and STORY OF MY LIFE.

The O'Neill Rose Barn is an iconic O’Neill building; the Rufus & Margo Rose Barn is original to the property and has a great rustic feel, with a spacious patio, water view and a 150 person capacity. The Barn has played host to dances, wine tastings, concerts, weddings and anniversariesis. The Rose Barn is known for their ever popular "Cabin Fever" series during the winter months which offers a variety of live rock, folk and americana bands throughout the northeast and beyond. The Cabin Fever series and other music events held at the barn are all ages and typically run 7 to 10pm for a suggested donation; beer and wine are available for purchase during the events.

The O'Neill Blue Gene's Pub is an actual working pub open to the public during the summer months and offers a serving area, small stage, and pub-style seating, as well as an outdoor patio.

This site was reeking with history and was the ‘go-to- place before newspapers, radios and tweets! The City of New London had just finished a $10 Million renovation, the place looked fantastic, and the wanted something to kick-off the reopening of the Parade Plaza.

Voila! Parade Plaza is created with a great team including the Garde Arts Center, Hygienic Art, Neff Productions, Custom House Maritime Museum, Kitchings Productions, New London Land Marks, Water Street (Arts) Garage, Nathan Hale School House, and New London Main Street. All of this under the direction of Mayor Rob Pero and City Manager Martin Berliner.

Bugles! Drums! Fireworks! Notables! Dancing = Celebration
BerParadeParade took place all day on June 6, 2010 with 200 musicains, rooftop buglers, Nathan Hale Birthday Party, Mayor Pero cutting the proverbial red ribbon 30 feet in the air from a cherry picker, to a spontaneous dance with hunders of local participants (U-tube the dance).

Y-Knot Cafe

12 Bank Street
New London, CT 06320
(860) 437-0684

Hours:
Open Daily 11am to bar close

Come in for a snack, stay for drinks and conversation at this favorite local watering hole. The Y-Knot serves a no-nonsense bar menu: burgers and grinders (on fresh Brooklyn rolls). The word on the street is that the Chicken Philly is the grinder to beat. Y-Knot is also known for their homemade chili, which the regulars clamor for. In addition to their standard fare, the Y-Knot features rotating weekday specials.

DJ's on select nights.
