We're hoping you'll join us in Chester for the Maple and Main Gallery's Holiday Show. This is the gallery's largest and most eclectic show yet. Over 300 new works of art will be unveiled and this show will feature at least 70 small paintings under $300 - many in the $100 range and suitable for gift giving to others or maybe, yourself.


Maple and Main only shows original art - no prints or photographs. However, for this show, we are offering a limited number of original unframed works at affordable prices.

 In addition to the Holiday Show, Maple and Main is offering informal painting demonstrations Sunday, December 9th and Sunday December 16th from 11-2. 


The gallery is introducing eight artists new to the gallery but not to the art world of Connecticut: Pat Corbett, Beverly Ward, Barbara Hageman, Megan Mangum, Cindy Stevens, John Berube, Linda Lilling and Estelle Laschever. Four nationally known artists will also display their work in this show: Claudia Post, Jan Blencowe, Lucy Young and Don Demers.


Demers, a Maine artist known across the country for his maritime paintings and landscapes, spent time at the end of October painting with some of the Maple and Main artists at Messerschmidt's Pond in Deep River and the riverfront in Essex. His paintings done at those locations will be offered during this show.
The gallery is located at 1 Maple Street, Chester. The show runs through January and the gallery's open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please visit our website at mapleandmaingallery.com ; or contact us at mapleandmain@att.net; 860-526-6065.

The State of Connecticut has billions in unfunded pension obligations thanks to the money managementRead More ablities of our state treasurers over the years. Only an AFSCME union boss would trust them.

Dear save our schools : I have not heard that rumor.... I think where that may have started wasRead More with some people looking at the old middle school and thinking about using it for a vo-ag school, but not at all connected with our school system. I have not heard anything for a while on that whole subject. I have not heard about accreditation issues either... I know about 12 years ago or maybe longer there were issues. My kids are not in the HS. Normally I support our BOE. And it should be noted that the BOE did not approve this... I would tend to bet that if you polled every board member - no one saw this report card system before it went out, and I am not sure who has seen it since. With kids in the middle school now I am keeping an ear open about the HS.

Dear EH Resident, Thank you for a well written and very informative communication. I am a parent ofRead More a recent Hale Ray graduate and have a student currently in the school system. My children are five years apart and it is down right scary to realize how much our school systems quality and rigor has been degraded in recent years. These changes are the direct result of the ill guided Board of Education. Recently I have heard that our high school will soon be becoming a vocational school and will not be accredited . This maybe a rumor but the current path we are on certainly supports the rumor. The loss of accreditation will mean that the diploma our children earn upon graduation will not be accepted by higher education institutions. The mantra of doing less with more is destroying our community. Our children are being robbed of a successful future because of their penny wise pound poor management. We must demand change and accountability from our Board of Education!

I am so hoping there is strength in numbers. We need as many parents as possible to sign theRead More petition against common core curriculum and specifically how it has affected the actual report card. As a group of concerned parents, we need to come up with a valid example of what we would like included in our children's report card. Presently, it is far too subjective and disorganized. There are approximately 67 categories on which to grade a student! Who decided to dissect a simple Language Arts score into over 30 different categories with grades? What tests are used to assess these 30+ ways to grade a child? Where are the tests? They don't come home and parents are in the dark until the actual parent/teacher conference! Additionally, if academic behaviors need to be included in reporting, they should be separate from the actual grades or the teacher can simply write comments next to each grade, constructive criticism that can enable a parent to help their child in whatever way they need help.This must be terribly time-consuming for teachers also whose time could be better-used in teaching our children without deciphering behaviors and analyzing standardized tests. I want to know WHY also!
