The mission of the Mallett Gallery is to support the arts at Capital and in the community. Gallery programming celebrates heritage and expression, often in dialog with the efforts of Capital’s neighboring museums, theaters, music, and historic places. Historically poised within the G. Fox & Co. Building, the gallery was once one of the first art deco-style department stores in the state (est. 1847).
The Mallett Gallery is named in honor of the second President of Capital Community College (now CT State Capital), Dr. Conrad LeRoy Mallett Sr., a lover of the arts who served as an honorary board member of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and on the board of the Amistad Center for Arts and Culture. Mallett retired from the Presidency of the Hartford, Connecticut Capital Community Technical College in 1996.
We are currently soliciting proposals for our gallery space and are especially interested in artists with a relationship to Hartford. Through this initiative we hope to connect CT State Capital students with local communities and share a wide range of heritage-based artwork. Artists and Curators may submit proposed programs to CA-MallettGallery@ccc.commnet.edu. Please include Work Samples, a Resume, Artist/Curator Statement, and Letter of Intent.
The Pegasus Gallery and the Niche are spaces reserved for the exhibits of artistic and expressive creations at CT State Middlesex. These forums promote learning and the visual arts through a diverse and challenging exhibition program. Solo artist and themed group exhibitions serve to support the teaching mission of the college by promoting understanding, learning, ethics and self-discipline by encouraging critical thinking. Middlesex’s galleries are a significant cultural link between our main Middletown campus and local communities.
