Welcome our latest exhibition, A Breath, A Pause, An Eternity, a Collapse featuring the oil paintings of Lillian Bayley Hoover in the Workshop Gallery on view until April 27, 2025 in The Workshop Gallery, Building 3 of Ball & Socket Arts.
Regular Gallery Hours from 12-4 pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Artist Statement:
My creative practice begins with encounters in the landscape, often bearing witness to human interventions there. Themes include human claims over the land, as well as the relationship between the built environment and what is considered by many to be “wild.” This work reflects an active landscape: a living participant in the events of our time, as well as a record of time itself. These paintings often look like photo collages, as competing visual languages and surfaces evoke the interruptions or barriers that mediate our connection with nature. On occasion, portions of the picture plane appear to be torn away or excised, drawn elements are partially obscured behind layers of clear gesso, or the surface is built up to create a subtle bas-relief before paint is applied. The result suggests an unstable world in which an alternate scene may be concealed behind the painted image.
These paintings probe the impact of human activity on "nature," what the record etched onto our planet's surface reveals, the ongoing processes by which planetary and biological systems shape one another, and how humanity's brief presence will reverberate into the future. My goal is to create accessible visual narratives that locate our moment within the broader context of “deep time,” encouraging viewers to consider our place in these larger systems and whether our estrangement from the natural world might arise from not considering ourselves within this framework.
This somewhat melancholy work serves as witness to a fraught moment in time. Part meditation, part metaphor, part elegy, these paintings channel the joy and despair which characterize our species’ precarity. In the face of humanity’s uncertain future, I hope this work will foster connection and fellowship for those who cherish our living earth.

The Tony and Grammy-winning Best Musical that is a worldwide sensation!
Declared “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theater history” by the Washington Post, DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the first musical to take a groundbreaking look — from the point of view of both the parents and young people — at our complex, interconnected, and social media-filled lives.
Evan Hansen is a high school student who always feels like he’s on the outside looking in. Evan finally gets what so many of us are searching for—the chance to finally fit in. What follows is a poignant, funny, and powerful musical about how even though it can be hard, we can find each other — and ourselves — along the way.
Including some of the most iconic musical theatre songs from the last decade, including “You Will Be Found,” “Waving Through A Window,” and “For Forever,” DEAR EVAN HANSEN features an uplifting score by the Tony®, Grammy®, and Oscar® winning team behind The Greatest Showman and La La Land, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and a book by Tony Award-winner Steven Levenson.
This show is recommended for ages 12 and up and contains adult themes, including discussions of suicide.

Dear Evan Hansen
Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" is a groundbreaking play that explores the ordinary lives of residents in the fictional small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, through the omniscient narration of the Stage Manager who guides the audience through the daily experiences of the Webb and Gibbs families. The play unfolds in three acts—Daily Life, Love and Marriage, and Death and Eternity—following the relationship between George Gibbs and Emily Webb from childhood through their marriage and ultimately Emily's tragic death, which leads to a profound meditation on the human tendency to overlook the beauty and significance of everyday moments. "Our Town" challenges audiences to appreciate the extraordinary within the seemingly mundane aspects of human existence, reminding us to cherish life's fleeting and precious experiences.

When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Based on the classic film comedy, this Tony-nominated Broadway musical is a reason to REJOICE! Can I get an “amen?!”

It followed the fish, the flight paths of immigrants, the sea-lanes of war: the knitted clothing of New England reflects maritime cultures the world over. Rich with origin mythology and salty with sailors’ yarns, garments like nippers, half-handers, and the infamous fisherman’s sweater each hold a romantic yet real place in our coastal history. Explore knitting a WWI submariner’s outfit with the Navy League! Imagine learning to knit with a pair of whalebone needles you carved yourself! Join Rebecca Bayreuther Donohue, historian & knitter, for an ode to wool and marvel once again at how the sea connects us all. A PowerPoint chronology comes to life with examples of breed-specific yarns and recreated garments.
Rebecca Bayreuther Donohue of Niantic has knit historical garments in between setting sails aboard New Bedford whalers, splitting codfish aboard Grand Banks fishing schooners, and lounging on O’Day Mariners. After more than 20 years at a major Connecticut maritime museum, she co-founded the Dirty Blue Shirts living history collective, whose participatory programs encompass everything from historic fashion & foodways to maritime culture & shipboard skills. Rebecca’s personal interest in historical hand-knitting stems from always being cold, no matter what century she’s interpreting. With all the plastic in today’s oceans, she thinks it’s time to revisit wool as the preeminent fiber of sustainability, versatility, and global community.

Artist Reception: Sue Healy
Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" is a groundbreaking play that explores the ordinary lives of residents in the fictional small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, through the omniscient narration of the Stage Manager who guides the audience through the daily experiences of the Webb and Gibbs families. The play unfolds in three acts—Daily Life, Love and Marriage, and Death and Eternity—following the relationship between George Gibbs and Emily Webb from childhood through their marriage and ultimately Emily's tragic death, which leads to a profound meditation on the human tendency to overlook the beauty and significance of everyday moments. "Our Town" challenges audiences to appreciate the extraordinary within the seemingly mundane aspects of human existence, reminding us to cherish life's fleeting and precious experiences.

Bob Sagendorf, a seasoned broadcaster both locally (14-NVR in Naugatuck, CT) and in New York City (WCBS -FM radio), was a major part of the team that created and launched the ESPN Radio Sports Network.
Bob was well known as a consummate professional both in front of and behind the microphone, with a commanding baritone voice. He remained in the broadcast world as both News and Sports Director for WATR radio in Waterbury until the unthinkable happened: Bob received a diagnosis of a rare benign brain tumor in a never-before-seen location. The remediation of that tumor, while successful, led to a loss of voice and 90 percent of hearing. Bob had to relearn how to speak, then went on to defeat stage 3 prostate cancer.
He chose to turn his devastating experiences — not only his own medical problems, but also the neurodivergent diagnosis of his beloved granddaughter Maggie — into a blessing. Bob and his wife Jan committed to raising and training a Rough-Coat Collie, Mollie, to be a therapy dog for autistic children and children with cancer. Bob’s story is a 2ND ACT that says a resounding yes to using one’s time along with newly discovered talents and resources to make a difference despite challenges!

Born in the diverse and vibrant nation of the USA, where every opportunity felt endless on one hand and yet impossible to grasp on the other, Luis Reyes has had “the privilege of living what all immigrant parents dream of for their children, and that is paving the pathway to freedom.”
His journey was uniquely shaped by the fact both of his parents were immigrants. As he was growing up, his understanding of “feeling safe” evolved beyond its dictionary definition — in addition to the challenges and triumphs of his immigrant heritage, he also faced the personal obstacle of hearing loss at an early age. While he learned to deal with this condition, he did not let him define him. Instead, it became a catalyst for personal growth and inner strength.
He transcended the challenges of being a minority, growing up in poverty, and having a hearing disability to become the first in his family to attend college, graduating with a Physical Therapist Assistant degree. He learned to embrace his unique perspective on the world and found new ways to connect with others, drawing on empathy, resilience, and the power of self-preservation to overcome adversity. Luis joined the Peak Physical Therapy team on Chase Ave in Waterbury in 2023.
