About the NBMAA: Acknowledged as the first museum in the world dedicated to American art, the NBMAA is renowned for its preeminent collection—numbering over 11,000 works and spanning three centuries of artistic output, with its masterpieces in demand worldwide. The award-winning Chase Family Building, which opened in 2006 to critical and public acclaim, features 15 spacious galleries that showcase the permanent collection and upwards of 25 special exhibitions or installations a year featuring American masters, emerging artists and private collections. Education and community outreach programs abound. Called “a destination for art lovers everywhere,” “first-class,” “a full-size, transparent temple of art, mixing New York ambience with Yankee ingenuity and all-American beauty,” the NBMAA is not to be missed. The NBMAA’s Annual Juried Members Exhibition is one of several ways the Museum celebrates and encourages artists in our midst.
Juror: Sarah Fritchey is a curator and writer based in New Haven, CT. She is the full-time Curator/Gallery Director at Artspace in New Haven and a contributor to ArtForum.com, Art New England Magazine, Big Red and Shiny and The Fairfield Courant/Hartford Advocate.
