Artfarm

Theater. Simple Living. Activism. ARTFARM currently operates out of a small office at 119 highland Ave in Middletown, CT.

We partner with many organizations, both local and further afield (2013 featured a fabulous exchange between ARTFARM and Vermont's Bread and Puppet Theater, supported by the Network of Ensemble Theaters), so we currently have many artistic homes. It is our intention to acquire a farm in central Connecticut, and renovate the barn, turning it into a performance, workshop and retreat space. We are de

dicated to the ideas of farm preservation and open space and greatly concerned about the increasing rate that developers are consuming Connecticut's precious lands. ARTFARM – a theater, a working small organic farm, and a retreat and workshop center where artists, activists, under-served young people and just good folks can come for renewal and inspiration.

The film screening of "The Wisdom of Happiness" - originally scheduled for January 23, has been re-scheduled to Friday, February 6 at 7 pm at 128 Washington Street in Middletown.

WISDOM OF HAPPINESS shows us a timeless truth: happiness is still possible, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This powerful message of hope is delivered as a personal audience with one of the greatest living thinkers, Nobel Peace Prize winner Tenzin Gyatso, known to billions around the world as the Dalai Lama. Speaking as a member of our single global community, he shares practical wisdom for finding peace, compassion, and hope in the midst of chaos. With disarming clarity and deep humanity, he invites us to imagine — and help create — a world where compassion is activated as our strongest force for change, and happiness is within reach for everyone.
