SUMMARY:Great Mountain Forest Maple Sugaring Day at Great Mountain Forest Sugarhouse
DESCRIPTION:A hands-on look at traditional maple sugaring takes place on Sunday\, March 22\, 2026 from 10 am to 2 pm at the Great Mountain Forest Sugarhouse\, 201 Windrow Road\, Norfolk\, CT 06058. \nThis seasonal event offers visitors the opportunity to explore how sap is transformed into maple syrup while meeting Great Mountain Forest foresters and learning about the science behind the process. Guests can experience the full “forest-to-table” journey and take home a bottle of locally produced maple syrup. \nWith more than 80 years of sugaring history\, Great Mountain Forest combines production with ongoing research and sustainable forestry practices. Its sugarbushes support wildlife habitat\, including migratory birds\, and the organization is recognized as Connecticut’s first bird-friendly maple syrup producer. The event also highlights current research efforts focused on pollinators and forest health in the face of changing climate conditions. \nVisitors can also learn about the forest’s Sap House diary\, an extensive record tracking sap yields\, weather patterns\, and ecological changes over decades\, offering valuable insight into long-term environmental trends. \nAdmission details were not specified. For more information\, visit greatmountainforest.org.

SUMMARY:Take me\, take me\, take me . . . to the Palace of Love at Yale Center for British Art
DESCRIPTION:Rina Banerjee’s suspended installation reimagines the iconic form of the Taj Mahal through contemporary materials and perspective. Rather than marble and permanence\, Banerjee constructs her palace from a steel and copper frame wrapped in translucent pink cellophane\, challenging assumptions about luxury\, history\, and cultural legacy. Floating above the ground\, the tentlike structure encloses objects that reference colonial histories\, including an antique Anglo-Indian Bombay chair and a chandelier assembled from foam\, plastic beads\, synthetic elements\, and artificial birds. The work reflects Banerjee’s distinctive practice of combining found objects with consumer materials gathered from markets near her New York home. \nBanerjee\, who received her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 1995\, sees this work return to New Haven for its first display at the museum since its acquisition in 2023. The installation is on view from February 7 through July 26\, 2026\, at the Yale Center for British Art\, 1080 Chapel Street\, New Haven\, CT. The museum is open Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. Admission is free.
