“With our friends, we’ve always accomplished things: like building parks, schools, and public spaces of beauty and purpose.” ~ Ilan-Lael Foundation
For many years, the Hubbell & Hubbell website served as the clearinghouse for all our affiliated organizations. We’re still involved in these groups, but over time each entity has grown to have their own website. We’ll continue to post event announcements on a shared events calendar; however, we encourage you to visit our friends’ sites to read their news updates and volunteer opportunities.
James T. Hubbell Art Studio
http://jameshubbellart.com – under construction, estimated launch 2011
One of the most-frequently emailed questions we receive is: “Where can I find more information and photos of James Hubbell’s wonderful artwork?” In 2010, we finally convinced Jim of the need for a separate website dedicated to his 50+ prolific years of artistic work. JamesHubbellArt.com contains:
- Online fine art portfolio, commissions information, and web sales for art pieces created at Jim Hubbell’s art studio.
- JamesHubbellArt.com celebrates the artist’s inspiring vision of nature as expressed in mosaic, stained glass, wood carving, metal shapes, sculpted concrete, patterned brickwork and stone. Paintings, drawings, and jewelry are also included on the fine art site.
- James Hubbell’s buildings and architectural details are also included in the Hubbell & Hubbell Architects site.
Ilan-Lael Foundation
ILAN-LAEL is a 501(c)3 non-profit arts education foundation that creates a space to connect people, art and nature for a more sustainable and harmonious world. They create hands-on opportunities to celebrate the built environment for its potential to help us see ourselves and our world in new ways.
The Ilan-Lael Foundation was founded by James and Anne Hubbell in 1982. Drew Hubbell serves on the board of directors and assisted with the historic designation and transfer of the Hubbell home and art studios to the Ilan-Lael Foundation, allowing the unique structures to serve as an art education and nature center; a gathering place for artists and friends; and a retreat space for like-minded people and organizations seeking inspiration in beauty, art, and natural surroundings. The Ilan-Lael Foundation website hosts information about:
- The Hubbell Home Tour / Ilan-Lael Home & Studios Open House each Fathers’ Day in June
