  • Benton: Oct 14 Last Day of Our Fall Exhibitions

    Last Chance to View Our Fall Exhibitions

    "52nd Annual Studio Art Faculty Exhibition" and "What's the Alternative? The Art and Outrage of the 1960's Underground Press"

    October 14, 2018 is the last day to view these exhibitions.

    The "52nd Annual Studio Art Faculty Exhibition" features new work by the exceptional artists who teach art at UConn’s Department of Art and Art History, School of Fine Arts.  The variety of media featured reflects the diverse academic concentrations offered by the department.  Featured artists:  Frank Noelker, Associate Professor of Photography and Laurie Sloan, Associate Professor of Printmaking.

    "What's the Alternative? The Art and Outrage of the 1960's Underground Press" is drawn from the Alternative Press Collection at the UConn Archives & Special Collections.  This exhibition surveys the efforts of cartoonists, illustrators, photographers and painters to warn against public impassivity in the face of political oppression, war, systemic racism and censorship of free speech during the mid-20th century.  The exhibition is guest curated by cartoonist Dwayne Booth (aka Mr. Fish).
