Saturday was the perfect day for our annual Art of Work Gala! Guests were absolutely blown away by the music and the acoustics in the mural building. Delicious food and drinks, amazing friends and supporters. And we're so grateful to be experiencing the mural from all three levels. If you missed it this year, we hope you can join us next September!

Many thanks to the generous support from our Gala sponsors: Scope Construction Company, Kaman Corporation, Northwest Community Bank, Hartford HealthCare, and R&M Insulation, with additional support from Elyse Harney Real Estate.

"How inspiring it was to see that fabulous mural, the beautifully reclaimed spaces, to meet and mingle with people in person instead of on screen. And hearing Billy! Sublime."
We wholeheartedly agree with this Gala attendee's thoughts on the evening!

Solidea Petruzzello, vice president, branch manager of Northwest Community Bank and a member of AMP’s board of directors, presented a $21,500 check yesterday to AMP Executive Director Amy Wynn—a donation through Connecticut's Neighborhood Assistance Act Tax Credit program!
This was the first time AMP participated in the program, thanks to the town of Winchester’s facilitation of AMP’s application. Through this program, the state approved donations to AMP from three businesses in support of energy-efficient building improvements and repairs to AMP’s buildings.
AMP also learned that two other donations through this program will be made from Webster Bank and from Connecticare, each in the amount of $3,451.92.
AMPmazing news!

Such a great night and turnout at Rowley Grill & Tap on Wednesday! The restaurant donated 10% of all food and drink sales from the night to AMP.

Thanks to Eversource CT for their grant in support of AMP's summer enrichment programs! They see the value of giving children and teens the opportunity to spend time outdoors—learning, designing, inventing, building, growing, and more. AMP continues to be committed to providing young people with learning opportunities that cultivate the skills and self-reliance needed for the next generation!

Oh, what a night! AMP's 3rd annual Art of Work Gala was a huge success. Everyone loved seeing the newly renovated building, the massive armature just waiting for the mural to be affixed, and the incredible height of the space. Delicious food by Spice Catering, beautiful music by players from the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, the opportunity to help paint "A M P" benches, and extraordinary “art in motion” video projections by Joe Wheaton all contributed to an evening full of appreciation for what’s been accomplished and anticipation for what’s to come. Special thanks to our corporate sponsors, Newman’s Own Foundation and Scope Construction Company, Inc. Click here for View more photos.
