Another year of the Mystic Outdoor Art Festival has come to a close. Nearly 250 artists and artisans lined the streets of Downtown Mystic CT for this annual favorite. The festival, produced by the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce, will celebrate its 60th year in 2017.
This summer, a fleet of painted mini-submarines -- each designed by a local artist -- will surface across the southeastern shoreline in honor of Connecticut's Submarine Century. Find the fleet on the CT Sub Trail app, see the fleet at the Groton 4th of July Parade and find your favorite on public display from July to October 2016.
Watch one of the subs become a work of art below, and visit http://bit.ly/294wV1I to learn more about the upcoming CT Sub Trail.
