The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum serves as a leading incubator for artists at critical creative junctures, providing a collaborative platform that engages and inspires. Founded by art collector and fashion designer Larry Aldrich in 1964, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is one of the oldest contemporary art museums in the United States. The Museum is one of the few independent, non-collecting institutions in the country and the only museum in Connecticut solely dedicated to the presentation of contemporary art.

In the fall of 2024, the Aldrich will present Martha Diamond: Deep Time, a forty-year survey featuring Diamond’s expressive abstract canvases, drawings, and monotypes depicting the energy, vitality, and at times loneliness of New York City. In March 2025, the Aldrich will inaugurate its renovated sculpture garden with the group exhibition A Garden of Promise and Dissent, sited throughout the galleries and grounds of the museum, the multidisciplinary exhibition will feature 21 artists whose works deal with the garden as both a place of poetic solace and a site for active engagement with the world. Also in 2025, the museum will present the first solo exhibition of Vienna-based conceptual artist Martin Beck, as well as solo exhibitions by New York–based artists Nikola Pottinger and Uman.
