Juror of Selection and Awards: With a wide-ranging background in art and history, Dr. Keffie Feldman holds a Ph.D. from the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University and a B.A. in archaeology and art history from Tufts University. Her work has taken her all over the world, which has informed her curatorial practice and deepened her appreciation of the things we hold in common. Whether considering art of the ancient past or the contemporary present, she is interested in art’s power to communicate both on personal and societal levels.
Connecticut Women Artists, Inc. (CWA) is one of the country's oldest women's art organizations, beginning in 1929. CWA presents the National Open Juried Exhibition in the fall each year, showcasing selected works in a broad range of styles and media submitted by women artists from the United States. The Members' Juried Show is held annually in the spring. Council members are invited to exhibit their work annually at the Council Show that takes place during the winter season.
Galleries and museums hosting the exhibitions are among Connecticut's most well-known and respected art venues. Jurors are chosen each year from among the most talented and significant women in visual arts. The artists, educators, and curators who have worked with us are all outstanding and have made significant contributions to the art world.
