About the Exhibition

Back for a second year in the new Danforth galleries, we can officially say that the Juried Exhibition is once again an annual tradition. It is exciting to feel a continuity of programming after years of uncertainty. With each month, we are reemerging as the Danforth that our community remembers, crafting a unique contemporary identity and seeking to serve ever-widening audiences. The Juried Exhibition is one of the cornerstones of this community commitment.

The Danforth Annual Juried Exhibition presents a different curatorial perspective each year, showcasing innovative work, and introducing new artists. Once again, we had a panel of three jurors, representing the region, the University, and the Danforth. This year’s jurors are

Erin Becker, Executive Director of the Cambridge Art Association, Leslie Starobin, Professor of Art at FSU, and Rachel Passannante, Collections Curator at the Danforth. The 89 works in this exhibition represent a wide range of media and processes that both evoke and subvert tradition and, as a whole, are a feast for the senses.

The Juried Exhibition is a snapshot of the work being produced in New England right now, and the Danforth is privileged to host it. We are grateful to all of the artists who submitted to the exhibition and who contribute to the rich cultural landscape of this region. This exhibition is generously sponsored by Middlesex Savings Bank.
