A Connecticut History (open to all members) | Juror: Michael Rose: From its Indigenous roots to its role in shaping American culture, Connecticut holds a layered and evolving history. Connecticut History invites artists to engage with the people, places, and events that have defined the state—whether through direct representation, personal connection, or contemporary reinterpretation. This exhibition seeks works that honor, question, and illuminate the stories that continue to shape Connecticut’s identity.
