Aldrich "Bike Fest" Gala

This past Saturday evening was the gala celebrating the opening of “Bike Fest” at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, CT. Rick, Matt and myself were in attendance with our significant others representing TARGETRAINING.

I must have ridden past the museum hundreds of times and never even knew that such an influential institution existed in my back yard.

About 5 years ago the current Aldrich Museum was built behind the original home of Larry Aldrich. The building itself is a work of art. The mission of the non- collecting Aldrich museum is to provide a venue for exhibit of up and coming and mid-career artist. Even more interesting is the museums drive to educate and develop programs for adults and children to help facilitate future leaders in the world of art.

Like all galas, it is always a challenge to focus on the art as the social aspect of such events is really what is stressed. But I can assure you that from what I had a chance to see, it is well worth a visit to Ridgefield to take in the “Bike Fest” exhibit. You will find many local artist, companies, and engineers on display. The evening was highlighted with stunts from BMX trick riders and performances from traveling Cirques du Sole entertainers.

We will be conducting a destination ride on October 18th for TARGETRAINING clients to The Aldrich to view the “Bike Fest” exhibit. We look forward to having you join us and developing a lasting relationship with this excellent institution.
