The Ely Center of Contemporary Art is pleased to present Tin There, Done That, a group exhibition kicking off the celebration of ECOCA turning 10!

Tin/Aluminum, the traditional material for a 10th wedding anniversary, represents ECOCA’s marriage of fostering contemporary arts in New Haven and the charitable legacy of Grace T. Ely in her Elizabethan mansion.

Tin There, Done That features the work of: Adria Arch, Adam Brent, Tamara Dimitri, Madison Donnelly, Mary Dwyer, Terry Donsen Feder, Lesley Finn, Elli Fotopoulou, Deborah Greco, Shanti Grumbine, Nate Heiges, Tom Kutz, Maria Markham, Hillel O’Leary, Sok Song, Alixe Turner, Shane Ward, Christina Hunt Wood.

Please join us for the opening reception on Sunday, March 9, 1-3 pm. ECOCA will also be hosting a series of free workshops for others to learn more about working with aluminum. 

ECOCA’s 10th Anniversary Benefit Gala follows this exhibition on Saturday, April 26 with food, live and silent auctions (selections include works by Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Ken Grimes, Roberto Lugo, Mario Moore, Mark Mulroney, Clara Nartey, Kim Weston), a Steel Drum Band, aluminum origami demo Workshop with Sok Song, and a Photo-booth from Statement Sets with a rack of festive metallic wears.
