Annual
Annual Connecticut Artists Juried Exhibition
For eight decades, Slater Memorial Museum has held the Annual Connecticut Artists Juried Exhibition to celebrate the legacy of our state’s artistic community. Hosted in our Converse Art Gallery, this show exhibits the work of Connecticut resident artists across all mediums. This show gives us a wonderful opportunity to honor our local artists and to fill our gallery space with colorful, thought-provoking, and insightful work.
Slater Museum begins accepting online submissions in late autumn, with the exhibition opening in January or February of the following year.
Please contact museum@nfaschool.org with any inquiries.
Saturday Morning Children’s Art Exhibition
In 1894, the Norwich Art School began offering the Saturday Morning Children’s Art program, where local children could develop their first artistic experiences with fantastic art instructors. Now run by the School of Visual & Performing Arts at Norwich Free Academy, this program of community engagement continues into its fourteenth decade. Every spring, Slater Memorial Museum has the pleasure of hosting these fledgling artists in the Converse Art Gallery as they set off on a lifetime of artistic engagement.
Program information and registration details for the Saturday Morning Art program can be found here.
NFA Annual Student Exhibition
Originally founded in 1890, the Norwich Arts School established a legacy of fine arts education at Norwich Free Academy, preparing local students for a lifetime of inquisitive artistic exploration. Work created by the Norwich Art School students was exhibited in an annual year-end exhibition, where their achievements were shared with the community. The 17th Annual Student Exhibition in 1907 was the first show to be hosted in the Converse Building’s large exhibition gallery, establishing a tradition that is still followed to this day through NFA's Visual & Performing Arts program. Please join us every May in Slater Museum’s Converse Art Gallery as we celebrate the growth, talent, and creativity of NFA’s visual arts students.
