2026 Alexander A. Goldfarb Juried Student Exhibition

The Alexander A. Goldfarb Memorial Trust, created in the late 1980s at the University of Hartford to honor Alexander Goldfarb's dedication to the arts, funds this annual juried student art exhibition held at the Joseloff Gallery.

All current students of the University of Hartford are invited to submit up to two works of art for consideration. Of the works chosen for the exhibition, two undergraduate students will be selected to receive purchase prizes of $1,000 each. The winning students' artwork will become part of the Goldfarb Memorial Collection, owned by the Hartford Art School and displayed throughout public spaces at the University. Part-time, post-baccalaureate, and graduate students may enter work for the exhibition, but only full-time, undergraduate students are eligible to win the two purchase prizes.

Submissions will be accepted online only from November 10, 2025 through January 6, 2026. Submissions should be recent and a fair representation of current work. For sculpture and 3-D work, you may submit up to three images per entry. For 2-D work, pieces should be ready to hang in a gallery setting; mounted, matted, or framed work is preferred. Video submissions should be uploaded to Vimeo.com or YouTube.com, with the URL pasted into the description field. All accepted artwork must remain on display through the end of the exhibition on February 22, 2026, and will not be allowed to be removed for any reason while on view. Artwork made from organic materials that may rot during the exhibition needs to be maintained by the artist; the Joseloff Gallery will disqualify any work deemed hazardous to the gallery, surrounding artwork, or staff and visitors. Always put your name on the back of your piece and mark the top.
