About us
Real Art Ways is an alternative multidisciplinary arts organization that presents and supports contemporary artists and their work, facilitates the creation of new work, and creatively engages, builds, and informs audiences and communities. Real Art Ways is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that depends on the support of our members and community to continue delivering on our mission of innovative exhibitions and programming. Real Art Ways is committed to artists and to community. We have built a national reputation for supporting innovation and for connecting people with art and ideas. We work with emerging and established artists, and we have a diverse and dynamic audience. All are welcome here. Real Art Ways began in the fall of 1975 when a group of visual artists and musicians took over a rambling upstairs space on Asylum Street in downtown Hartford and created a bare bones salon in which they lived, worked and presented the work of others. Across the country alternative ideas were being explored and developed – and that idea of alternativity to the mainstream remains central to Real Art Ways’ work. Today, Real Art Ways is widely regarded as one of the country’s outstanding contemporary art spaces, one that has a special link with its own community. With films, concerts, performances, readings, exhibitions, and a space where people gather before and after events, Real Art Ways is a unique meeting place for people to come together around art, ideas, and conversation.

"It’s difficult to see the bigger picture from inside of the frame. Exhibiting Forgiveness, Titus Kaphar’s brilliant work of difficult truths creates a cutout of shared emotional burdens for audiences to insert themselves into— it pulls back the rug on all of the familial things we thought we healed from, reminding us that healing isn’t linear. Exhibiting Forgiveness is a thoughtfully scripted and delicately executed vision of shared emotional experiences where the through line runs across a range of emotions that make perfect sense and no sense simultaneously." Thank you Kimolee Cowell for writing a thoughtful review after viewing EXHIBITING FORGIVENESS with our audience on Saturday night. Read Kimolee's full review here: https://lnkd.in/epRUrU9i

Congrats to Trinity College-Hartford Professor Susan Masino, the latest recipient of a fellowship by RESTORE: The North Woods. Susan has worked with us many times over the years. From guest speaking for Science on Screen and ecological film installments to leading excursions to experience Pine trees in the middle of Hartford to organizing old-growth forest walks, Susan champions the positive effects of being around trees and their relationship to our brain health. We hope to continue collaborating with Susan and are thrilled she's been recognized for her brilliant work!
Professor Susan Masino breaks new ground in environmental science and policy! Masino has been awarded a fellowship by RESTORE: The North Woods, merging her expertise in forests, brain health, and natural stewardship with a bold vision: New National Parks in every state. This collaboration isn't just about conservation—it's about reshaping our approach to public health and decision-making. Prof. Masino argues that protecting our natural heritage is crucial for fostering brain health and securing a better future for all. Join us in celebrating this incredible accomplishment! https://lnkd.in/eaHyPUKT

Tomorrow, October 10, we will screen the new documentary "Eno" - for one day only - at 3:15 pm and 7 pm. Real Art Ways is the only cinema in CT playing this in partnership with Art House Convergence. We are proud to present opportunities like this for the film lovers and artists in our community. Director Gary Huswit's film about visionary artist and music pioneer Brian Eno changes with each screening. It's been called the "first generative feature film." After each screening - we are required to destroy the file. Dive into the making of "Eno" and how arthouse theaters got involved with these one-of-a-kind screening events - https://lnkd.in/eCnNtMT6

Are you ready to join the movement? We will host Josh Kornbluth next weekend (Oct 4-6) for an in-person, full theatrical performance of his latest autobiographical monologue, "Citizen Brain," - a show that seeks to spread a kindness contagion. As the election approaches, Josh hopes to spark an "empathy revolution" with humor and urgency. Pick one of the three performances in our theater, and come prepared to strengthen that "empathy circuit" in your brain. Tickets are on sale now. Our theater has a limited capacity - we recommend getting tickets well in advance of the performance you plan to attend: https://lnkd.in/gD7RvTbZ #empathycircuit #empathyrevolution #kindnesscontagion #citizenbrain #comicstoryteller #solostoryteller #AtlanticFellows #UCSF #brainnutrition #brainhealth #IntellectualEntertainment #edutainment #joshkornbluth
