CONNECTICUT — The Connecticut Art Trail has brought back its annual buy one, get one deal for its Passport-Journal program, which allows people to experience more than two dozen cultural attractions throughout the state. Now through Dec. 31, folks can buy two Passport-Journals for the price of one at $35.

This past year saw a boom for the Connecticut Art Trail, which grew roughly 77 percent in year-over-year sales as many Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York residents sought to get out and explore the arts and culture within a day trip of their homes, according to a news release.

“We’ve been seeing more and more people discover the incredible cultural assets that can be
found right in their own backyard,” said Carey Mack Weber, President of the Connecticut Art
Trail and the Frank and Clara Meditz Executive Director at Fairfield University Art Museum.
“This annual Passport-Journal deal from the Connecticut Art Trail is a perfect gift for a loved
one, opening them up to a year of exploration across the state.”
