Two New Haven “arts heroes” got their due Wednesday night — in the form of statewide recognition of their contributions to Connecticut culture.
Lucy Gellman and Kim Weston received those honors during the latest annual Connecticut Arts Hero Awards, held in downtown Hartford at the Infinity Music Hall & Bistro on Front Street.
Gellman, who is the editor of the New Haven Arts Paper and the co-founder of the Youth Arts Journalism Initiative, was one of nine Connecticut residents to receive the 2020 Arts Hero award from the state Office of the Arts.
Weston, a photographer and teacher with a studio in Erector Square, was one of eight to receive the 2021 award.

Congratulations to two amazing women in the arts. New Haven is fortunate to have them in our midst!
