Dear Hartford Art School Alum:
Greetings from your alma mater! I hope this finds you productive and engaged in work and/or graduate studies. You were the first to finish your degree during a global pandemic, yet you persevered and created a BFA thesis that you were not able to share beyond close family and friends or via the internet. I feel strongly that it is not too late to celebrate your success and feature your work in REDUX 2020 + 2021, an alumni exhibition in the Donald and Linda Silpe Gallery from February 19 through March 19, 2022.
I respectfully invite you to submit your best work for an Alumni Exhibition focusing on 2020 and 2021 HAS undergraduates. Each student who enters work will have one piece exhibited-it can be from your thesis show, or your current body of work, the choice is yours. Four award-winners will be selected as follows: Visitor’s Choice, Gallery Director’s Choice, Endowment Boards’ Choice, and HAS Dean’s Choice. An opening reception is tentatively planned for February 26, 2022 and invitations will be shared electronically for you to distribute to your network. If a work is available for sale, all proceeds will go directly to the artist.
Please see the details outlined at 2022alumni-exhibition.artcall.org/. If you have questions or need help deciding which piece to enter, please reach out to the Interim Gallery Director Eric Ben-Kiki at benkiki@hartford.edu.
Sincerely,
Nancy M. Stuart, Ph.D.
Dean
This exhibition is generously supported by the Hartford Art School Endowment, Inc.
Submissions will be accepted online only on a rolling basis.
Only Hartford Art School Alumni class of 2020 and 2021 are eligible to enter.
Artwork made from organic materials that may rot during the exhibition (pieces made of food/vegetables/trash/etc.) may alter the environment in the gallery and needs to be maintained by the artist.
The Hartford Art School Galleries will disqualify any work deemed hazardous to the galleries, the artwork installed around it, to staff and visitors.
All accepted artwork must remain on display in the gallery through the end of the Alumni Exhibition on March 19, 2022, and will not be allowed to be removed for any reason while the exhibition is on view.
You may submit one entry.
2-D work should be ready to hang in a gallery setting. Mounted, matted, or framed preferred.
Unmatted works on paper will be pinned to the wall when hung in the exhibition. If you would prefer that your work be hung differently, please devise a hanging system before dropping off your work.
Works on stretched canvas will be hung on the stretcher bars if a hanging device (D-rings or wire) is not supplied. If you would prefer that your work be hung differently, please devise a hanging system before submitting your work.
Work in a series (a diptych or triptych, for example) may be submitted as one entry. Please be sure to enter an image of the full series installed as a group. Please provide instructions on hanging your work or make time to install your own work.
You may submit up to three images per entry. If you would like to show multiple views of your sculptural work, please do.
