LACEE YURTOGLU - Event Director
Locally Renowned Curator & Illustrator
" Lacee is a gem in the new milford creative community, who hails from the island of long but landed herself in southern litchfield county about three years ago. Lacee is an active supporter of the arts whose main focus has been helping local artist’s find their voice And a place to show in the local community.
Lacee is the art curator at the village center for the arts, the art curator at tonio’s panino and also the art curator for sweet spot bakery all located in the heart of new milford. Lacee also offers custom framing as part of her services. This all coming from a native long islander who only just moved to new milford from mastic beach a few short years ago.
When lacee isn’t putting together art parties, curating this month’s show or speaking to businesses about how they can support the arts for the upcoming art crawl, lacee finds her center in her own artwork. As a self taught illustrator, lacee specializes in watercolor and ink works. She often works by commission for tattoo art, greeting cards, custom paintings and more.
Lacee has managed to show her work in quite a few venues in a very short amount of time. For instance art lab in manchester, new milford public library, the village center of the arts, and salons by jc in west hartford."
