50 Days to First Night 2021, Button Artist Announced

This year, First Night Hartford will be turning our 32nd annual New Year’s celebration into a robust TV broadcast, facebook and youtube livestream, and live zoom workshops. First Night Hartford 2021 will not be hosting any in-person events but will be embarking on the creation of an innovative virtual experience to be held on Thursday, December 31, 2020. With the hope of bringing our communities safely together to ring in the new year, First Night Hartford will create a broadcast and livestream experience alongside dozens of community partners, artists, and a local video production company.

First Night Hartford is excited to announce the addition of eight new board members: Taneisha Dugan, Mallory Mason, Helen Boyke, Adam DeSantis, Jennifer Moore, Eugene Morton, Kailey Townsend, Marian Andoh.

First Night is also excited to announce our 2021 button design artist, Lindaluz Carrillo. Lindaluz Carrillo is a local urban artist, graphic designer, and prolific muralist.
