From ensuring we had a reservation to greeting us upon arrival and making us feel comfortable exploring the museum in our own small groups, your hospitality made for a wonderful experience.

Congratulations to ConnCorp on a successful open house and the newly renovated space. We are so proud of you!
ConnCAT Summer Youth Collaborative Arts Program would like to thank our Yale Fellow Ms. Amanda for bringing our campers to see the wonders of the costume department Yale Repertory Theatre theater department!!
Seeing all the beautiful designs from so many productions gave them amazing ideas for their own showcase happening on August 13th & 14th at this season!! We appreciate the inspiration to our next generation David Geffen School of Drama School of Drama Design
Our visit to Yale Art Gallery & YCBA (Yale Center for British Art) was a complete success!! Students learned through meaningful discussions on featured works as well as interactive art based activities provided by tour guides.
We thank them for providing our students with the opportunity to explore original works of art, & encouraging them to observe, question and interact with the artwork using a variety of inquiry-based/activity-driven learning approaches.
(The staff at both locations said we could return with our students ANY time👍🏽✅)

If you’re driving or walking down Dixwell Avenue at night and see this building glowing, we hope it makes you smile.
It stands as a reminder of what’s possible when we invest in our community. Inside these walls lies hope and opportunities that transform lives—from **free** training programs in culinary arts and health sciences for adults 18 and over, to youth programs that inspire growth, creativity, and brighter futures for our children.
This space was built with our community in mind, and we look forward to growing and glowing in and with Dixwell and surrounding communities.
