Celebrating its 25th year during 2026, the Granby Artists Association has initiated a community arts project, Seasons of the Granby Oak. The GAA invites everyone to join a diverse study of the Granby Oak as part of nature and home to animal and plant life. The Granby Oak is an inspiration to all mediums and styles of art.
With the snow, ice, cold temperatures and strong winds,
winter’s power seems relentless and spring so far away.
Winter is still a great time for birding in Connecticut. It is a season filled with the dark-eyed junco, tufted titmouse, white-breasted nuthatch and the Northern cardinal, to name a few.

The 2025 Celebrating New England’s Natural Beauty Art Show, hosted by the Granby Land Trust (GLT) and the Granby Artists Association (GAA), once again brought hundreds of people to Lost Acres Vineyard for an evening of art, community and appreciation for the natural world. The vineyard’s gallery walls were filled with works inspired by New England’s diverse landscapes—from sweeping mountain vistas to familiar scenes from right here in Granby.
Scott Rhoades, of Storrs, won the Marty and Don Wilmot Award for his acrylic painting, Kindred Spirits. The work depicting the giant moose and tiny turtle amid reflected autumnal glory earned the top prize at the 2025 Celebrating New England’s Natural Beauty Art Show hosted by the Granby Land Trust and the Granby Artists Association at Lost Acres Vineyard.
On the houses the Christmas lights shine brightly into the dark night.
The air feels cold, and snow flurries drift quietly by.
The Granby Artists Association held its Annual Open Studio Tour Oct. 4 and 5. Visitors had the opportunity to meet the 18 participating artists at their home studios or in gallery spaces and learn how they make their art.
How blessed we are to have a warm home
and friends and family to share this day of Thanksgiving.
We are rich in things that truly matter.
