“Fire & Ice” was the theme of the Wadsworth Atheneum’s cocktail event for January. The courtyard hosted fire juggling with Keith Leaf and ice sculpting by Ice Matters. Free hot chocolate was available in the cafe area, where those wishing to stay warm could watch the action from indoors.

Also inside was a lantern-making arts and crafts project. The XY Eli Band created a bluesy atmosphere while the NiRo Design Center had models strut around the room, stopping to pose for minutes at a time. The evening was capped off with a screening of The Girl Who Played with Fire.
