Re/Framed Gala

Inspired by an upcoming exhibition by artists Kat Murphy and Heidi Johnson, our spring gala explores a dynamic dialogue between past and present, inspiration and creation —reimagining the collection through a fresh, contemporary lens.

Celebrate with us for an evening as the Museum transforms into a vibrant hub of art and nightlife. Enjoy signature cocktails, savory small plates, lively music, and exciting online bidding — all while celebrating the Museum as a place where history informs the future and creativity continues to evolve.

An exceptional evening awaits!

Proceeds from the evening support the Museum’s operations and educational programs that are so critically important to the cultural vitality of New London and the region.

Please consider supporting the Lyman Allyn in person and/or by bidding on our exciting online auction. Even if you are unable to attend in person, the online auction of unique treasures and experiences is available to all regardless of party attendance!
