Our Mission

a mano, nestled within the historic heart of downtown Torrington, where creativity abounds and community connections are forged. ur mission is twofold: to foster a thriving creative community by connecting artists with opportunities and to nourish the artistic spirit within our wider community. Through a diverse array of offerings, we strive to make the arts accessible to all. We believe art serves as a bridge connecting communities and fostering collective expression.

Central to our ethos is the belief that artists thrive when they have a platform to showcase their work and share their creative process.

Our gallery space, aptly named 'a mano', Spanish for 'by hand', serves as a curated showcase for fine and functional art, providing a platform for emerging and established artists alike. With a rotating roster of instructing artists, a mano offers visitors the opportunity to engage directly with creators, gaining insight into their techniques and inspirations.

a mano is a testament to the power of community connection and creative collaboration.
