The Art Gallery at Eastern Connecticut State University exhibits the works of established and emerging artists, as well as the creativity of Eastern students and faculty members. The gallery also manages the University’s permanent collection. Appealing to a diverse audience, the gallery is committed to works that reflect the human condition and the world around us while inspiring our visitors.
Eastern Connecticut State University’s permanent art collection serves primarily as a teaching and research tool for students and faculty. The collection focuses on contemporary art produced by artists with a connection to New England.
This exhibition is sponsored by the NEA Big Read and inspired by Thi Bui's The Best We Could Do, graphic memoir (2018). NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. The NEA Big Read broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.
