"Creative Connections" features Wadsworth staff musings about art, creative know-how, and ways they are staying connected to the museum while working from home. Tune in Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 5pm for a video message from a different museum staff member.

Susan Morse Hilles Curator of European Art Oliver Tostmann gives us a glimpse into the Wadsworth’s spectacular self-portrait painting by renowned Baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi.
