  • 10/21 Submit Your Art for Employee Art Show Round 2

    Attention artists of UConn Health:

    The art committee has decided to host one more group exhibit in our connector gallery for 2024 and we want you to be a part of it. Please send up to three (3) sample images of your original art to arochester@uchc.edu. We will accept submissions for Employee/Staff Art Show from now through Tuesday, October 29th. Volunteers from our art committee will select original works of art by UConn Health employees and Staff to display in our Connector Gallery between University Tower and CT Tower. Space is limited, so we will only display up to three (3) works per artist and no more than fifteen (15) at a time depending on size and availability of wall space.

    - All works on paper must be framed to ensure its protection.

    - All artworks must have wire installed for hanging.

    - If selected and your work is not prepared for hanging, it will be turned away because it must be installed using our hanging system.

    - To prevent safety hazards and/or accidental damage in this is high-traffic area, we will not display sculptures that require pedestals.

    If needed, contact Andre Rochester as soon as possible at arochester@uchc.edu for guidance on how to properly prepare your art for gallery display. Selection will be based primarily on collective themes and aesthetic complement to other submissions. If your work is not selected for this exhibit, please consider submitting again in the future. We look forward to viewing your art and celebrating your artistic talents at UConn Health.
