Art show raising funds for new church furnace

Art show raising funds for new church furnace
Ruth Epstein

An art show to raise money for a much-needed new furnace for the North Canaan Congregational Church will be held from Jan. 13 to 26 at the Five Points Gallery, 15 Water St. in Torrington. The show features 200 paintings by Armand O. DeGrandis, who spent his retirement painting people, landscapes and still lifes. Organizers said they hope people will come and make some purchases ‘to keep our church open and warm for years to come.’ The works were donated by Herman Parent.
