At the heart of the five points in the city of Torrington is the
amazing cultural resource known as the Five Points Gallery at 33
Main Street. Five Points Gallery promotes the work of established
and emerging artists who produce conceptually stunning
contemporary art. Not only is the location beautiful and the design
of the building spacious and inviting, the events held there are oneof-
a-kind. For instance this summer, the Gallery hosted a talk by
Ann Temkin, chief curator for paintings and sculpture for the
Museum of Modern Art in New York. Temkin is a Torrington native,
she came back to her city to a standing room only gathering that
erupted in thunderous applause as she entered to give her lecture
on modern art.
