About Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

The Aldrich is a contemporary art museum on Main Street in Ridgefield. It hosts changing exhibitions in its galleries and outdoors in its sculpture garden, and it also runs public programs, family workshops, teen and school programs, and guided group tours. Visitors can see first solo shows by emerging artists, mid-career retrospectives, group shows on social themes, and newly commissioned works. Because the museum keeps no permanent collection, the displays change over time, and the website lists current and upcoming shows.
