The Festival Of Living Pictures is an annual art exhibition on Gilmore Girls, hosted in Connecticut.
About[]
The festival is held annually, in a different Connecticut town each year, where famous pieces of art are recreated by live models. It is organised by the Connecticut Arts Council, headed in 2003 by Buff Otis. Each year, the host unveils a recreation unique to that year's exhibition as its centerpiece, in addition to the general collection exhibited every year.
