The past year the Hygienic has presented many opportunities to visually stimulate the public with work from both emerging and internationally acclaimed artists. Focusing on giving the New London community new and inventive viewing possibilities, the Hygienic has been able to bring the arts from around the world to downtown New London providing its growing art culture an opportunity to communicate and interact with the art world on not only a local but national level.

To kick off the shopping season the Hygienic Art Galleries will present an eclectic array of purchasing possibilities for the organized holiday shopper on their favorite day of the year.
