City Highlights
Warner Theater and Other Performance Venues
The Warner Theater is Torrington’s crown jewels for arts and entertainment. The fully restored Deco era venue and its smaller sister, The Nancy Marine Theater, attract 80,000 patrons annually. Twenty minutes North in quaint Norfolk, awaits two acoustic gems: Infinity Hall accommodates national acts and The Yale Music Shed for chamber music during summers.
Five Points Gallery and Visual Arts Center
Since opening its doors in 2013 Five Points Gallery has quickly established itself as one of the Connecticut’s premier art galleries in CT representing regional and international art. Coming soon: Five Points Visual Arts Center, set in idyllic woods, next to the John Brown property! The 40,000 sq ft facility will tailor to higher education art students; special exhibits and a guest lecturer series from worldwide.
Other Galleries and Studio Space
The conversion of historical brownstones to accommodate new retail; galleries and studio space is well underway in Torrington. Recent additional gallery openings include John Noelke, Annex and DeMatteo and Municipal Center Gallery. The Annex, an offshoot of Five Points Gallery, offers regional and visual artists to rent solo or shared space for a week or two at low, no-commission prices.
Nutmeg Theater
The Nutmeg Conservatory, with its state of the art facility, provides top-level instruction and performance opportunities for aspiring ballet dancers, many alumni who now perform worldwide.
Coe Park, Downtown Torrington
Come spring, Coe bursts alive with manicured botanical color. Slated 2019 events will include Artists in the Park: A Mass Easel Paint-a-thon; our open air venue for Torrington’s live Summer Concert series; Strawberry Festival, Fall Harvest Festival and Main Street Marketplace.
Regional Hiking and Winter Activity:
N.W.CT is the gateway to the Berkshires, and portals to the 2200 mile Appalachian Trail. In nearby Litchfield, White Memorial Park boasts 40 miles of trails and kayaking on the Bantam River. Closer to Torrington, surrounding smaller parks, offer equal beauty around idyllic ponds and lakes. When the snow flies many embrace cross country runs or faster speed down the slopes at three nearby resorts.
Nearby Smaller Towns
Whether it’s dramatic Kent Falls; summer English garden tours; river fishing; covered bridges; galleries; quaint shopping, or the finest leaf peeping: it’s never more than a windy, country road away. No wonder why so many Litchfield County visitors decide to drop roots here.
