Hygienic Artist Cooperative & Galleries In 1979, the first exhibition for a group of artists who called themselves, Hygienic, Inc was held at the Hygienic Restaurant. Open since 1919, the Hygienic was New London's only 24 hour eatery. The exhibiton rules were simple; no judge, no jury, no fees, no censorship, one piece per artist and all were welcome. The show was an immediate success and the Hygienic Art Exhibition became an annual creative arts festival, attracting over 450 artists and an audience of thousands. The Hygienic Restaurant closed in 1985 and the show continued in other historic venues in the city. Hygienic Art was formally incorporated in 1987 to save the exhibition from speculators who wanted to use the Hygienic name to promote other festivals in the city. In 1996 the building that housed the Hygienic Restaurant was slated for demolition to become a parking lot for a bank. With lots of help from city, state and private funders, the hard-working Hygienic Art folks bought and historically renovated the landmark building into a residential artists co-op and public art galleries. The building opened in January of 2000. In 2006, the main art event "Salon des Independants" celebrated it's 27th year. "... Hygienic Artist Co-op and galleries and the Co-op studios are a successful model of affordable urban homesteading. Visual artists have live-in studios with access to an in-house gallery for exhibitions. Resident artists are involved in building art shows, curating, teaching art, volunteering, and creating new art for exhibitions."
