2023 Goldfarb Juried Student Exhibition
2023 Goldfarb Juried Student Exhibition
January 26–February 11
Artwork by some of the University's most talented students will be on display for the annual Alexander A. Goldfarb Juried Student Exhibition in the Joseloff Gallery. This exhibition is a longstanding event at the university. In the late 1980’s, the Alexander A. Goldfarb Memorial Trust was created at the University of Hartford to honor the late Alexander Goldfarb and his dedication to the arts. This trust would fund the Juried Student Art Exhibition—as it was then called—to be held annually at the Joseloff Gallery.
Each year, the exhibition collaborates with a juror to help select the winners. Of the fifty-one works that were chosen for the show, two undergraduate students will receive purchase prizes in the amount of $1,000 each. This year's juror is Sam Adams, Ph.D., Ellen Johnson ’33 Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College.
The winning students’ artwork will become a part of the Goldfarb Memorial Collection, owned by the Hartford Art School and proudly displayed throughout the University public spaces.
The exhibition opens with a reception and awards presentation on Thursday, January 26, from 5 to 7 p.m. It runs in the Joseloff Gallery through February 11.
This exhibition and associated events are made possible by the Alexander A. Goldfarb Endowment fund held by the Hartford Art School Endowment, Inc.
