The Intro

Our annual juried shows are open to artists located in the tri state region of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and nationwide. Each year a prominent museum curator or gallery director is selected to jury the exhibit. The juror determines a theme for the exhibit and helps come up with the prospectus.

Why visit

The juried exhibits encourage artists throughout the country to submit artwork inspired by a particular theme or subject. For artists, it is an opportunity to share their work to a broader audience and exhibit alongside artists they might otherwise never know.  Participating artists get exposure to a new audience and area. This exposure can lead to new opportunities for sales and other exhibits . Our exhibits are widely publicized drawing a broad and diverse range of visitors.

Visiting a juried exhibit is a unique opportunity to see the work of artists not necessarily from the local area.  The exhibits are high quality as artists submit their best work.  This creates a chance for the public to view museum quality exhibits for free. The jurors are professionals in their fields and many have a following attracting artists who respect their opinions and ideas for themed exhibits.
