The Hue Gallery’s Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Saturday, August 8, 2026
12:00 PM 6:00 PM
Inspired by the tradition of being given the “Keys To The City,” this exhibition shifts the narrative where recognition isn’t handed down by institutions, but earned through vision, voice, and cultural impact.
Each artist is intentionally selected and presented as a key holder to The Hue Gallery. Through their work, they take ownership of the space. As our first exhibit they shape the energy, its narrative, and the way it’s experienced.
Bringing together artists from different states and CT natives, Keys To The City transforms HUE into a shared environment where the city is defined not only by those creating, but by everyone moving through it.
For this moment, we give you the “Keys To The City”.

Before the name
Friday, September 17, 2026
7:00 PM 9:00 PM
Before the Name is an interactive art experience where anonymous artwork becomes the starting point for meaningful conversation. Through a series of thoughtfully curated prompts, guests explore the work, reflect on the pieces that resonate with them and share their perspectives before the artist and the meaning of the work are revealed. There are no right answers, just new ways of seeing, connecting and experiencing art together.
