During a night when two more New Haveners got shot, two mayoral candidates invoked different years to criticize each other’s handling of violent crime.
Starting this fall, Hillhouse students will be able to take enough biology, terminology and lab courses to skip a year of college — or enter the workforce right away in high-paying jobs.
It all started, Karen DuBois-Walton told a skeptical Democratic ward co-chair, outside police headquarters on “a very painful night” when city police pepper sprayed protesters — and Justin Elicker remained inside, out of sight, for hours.

Two mayoral candidates won “leaning” voters one at a time through retail politics — making sales pitches with different leadership visions to small clusters of New Haveners a mile away from each other.

The two shows at Kehler Liddell Gallery — “Parallel Worlds,” by Robert Bienstock, and “L.A. Color, East Coast Weather,” by Hank Paper, up now through June 20 — hang well in the gallery together, unified by a love of strong lines and bold color. But Bienstock’s pieces are paintings and drawings, while Paper’s are photographs. Bienstock’s pieces chronicle the past year and a half. Paper’s are the documents of a lifetime of work.

Thabisa’s band, augmented by members of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, was in the full flower of the music it was making. Thabisa herself took a moment to pause in her singing and instead turn and dance intricate, powerful steps on the Edgewood Park stage set up for ArtWalk.
The people on the ground in front of her followed suit.
Friday night’s concert, uniting two institutions of New Haven’s music scene, kicked off the annual ArtWalk fest in Westville. It set the mood for Saturday’s events, a celebration of the ability of people to gather again, as the weather warmed, vaccinations continue, and masks were ubiquitous.

A visit to a gynecologist’s office that may or may not be under siege. How copulation might resemble the objects you might find in your attic. And the travails of a child maligned by his shallow parents, seeking May 4‑appropriate, Star-Wars-themed revenge. On Tuesday night the Regicides — the improv troupe from A Broken Umbrella Theatre Company — started ArtWalk in Westville, which returns to live, in-person, yet still social distanced activities this year.
More trees planted in the Hill. Less pollution in the West River.
These are some of the ideas for what to do with $1 million now available from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a longtime cap-and-invest program for power plants in the northeast.
Memorial candles were lit, engines revved, and cries of “Revolucion!” rang out at the corner of Whalley and Ramsdell Sunday evening at the spot where an allegedly drunk driver killed the popular leader of a local motorcycle club.
The doors were wide open again at the public library’s main branch — and two patrons were found browsing through the wide variety of nonfiction books in the stacks.
Staffers are trying to get the word out so more New Haveners come back inside.

The profile of the Q Bridge is unmistakable to anyone who lives in New Haven, but it rarely gets the treatment painter Chris Ferguson gives it. Under his eye and brush, the bridge feels hazy and gauzy, a distant mirage. Ferguson’s choice to highlight marsh and beach in the foreground adds to the sense of the bridge as an object to find beauty in. His generous eye, warm and inviting, is a thread that runs through all his work in “Looking Up!” a show he shares with artist Amanda Duchen at Kehler Liddell Gallery in Westville, running now through May 9.
(Opinion.) The results of the New Haven school choice system are out. It’s a good time for our city’s most privileged families to think about how we talk about our “wins” and “losses” in this lottery.
