NotesSubject Note: The Wadsworth Atheneum hosted a series of public programs on the first Thursday of the month for several years in the 2000s, featuring performers from a variety of ethnic communities in Connecticut. These events, called “After Hours,” included films, food often from the ethnic community represented, and tours of the exhibits. CCHAP attended many of these events to document artists and from 2013-2019 to present the Mas Camp teens in performance at the summer Block Party that was one of the First Thursday events each August.
