2022 annual national open juried exhibition
JUROR OF SELECTION AND AWARDS Lisa Hayes Williams- Associate Curator, New Britain Museum of American Art New Britain, CT. Prior to joining the New Britain Museum, she worked at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and, David Zwirner Gallery as an Exhibitions and Research Associate.
OUR ORGANIZATION Connecticut Women Artists (CWA) was founded in 1929, when 20 women artists exhibited at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford. Since exhibition opportunities were rare for women at that time, they started a society of female artists. As one of this country’s oldest continuing art organizations for women, CWA now has over 150 elected members. Because CWA does not own its own gallery, the organization is able to choose from among other noteworthy Connecticut venues in which to hold their exhibits.
