Conversation with Collector Tony Yurgaitis at Hillstead

Hillstead hosts Tony Yurgaitis, owner of Arethusa Farm in Litchfield, for a conservation about art collecting with our Executive Director, Dr. Anna Swinbourne. Tony’s personal story, which fuses appreciation of art of all kinds with a passion for farming, is a familiar one at Hill-Stead. Tony and members of the Pope family, who also designed lives filled with art and agriculture, are kindred spirits across centuries. Hear him share fascinating stories of his journeys in both realms!

The conversation will take place in our exhibition gallery, surrounded by the artwork from Arethusa’s collection now on view there, and will be followed by a cocktail reception
