    • Temp Last Modified: 2025-05-28

    CT State campuses continue the legacy of supporting and sharing the visual arts with the communities we serve. Whether it's showcasing student artwork or hosting art exhibitions featuring local and national artists, the galleries at CT State offer something for everyone.

    Admittance to galleries and art exhibitions is free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. Learn more about your campus gallery below.

    Current and Upcoming Exhibitions

    Find Your Local Art Gallery

    • Most CT State campuses house a public art gallery showcasing work by local and national artists. Learn more by choosing a location from the list above.

      • Mallett Art Gallery at Capital

      • 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.

        Calls For Entry

        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 mallettgallery@ctstate.edu. Please include Work Samples, a Resume, Artist/Curator Statement, and Letter of Intent.

        • The Mattatuck Community Collection at NVCC

          While walking through the hallways of both the Naugatuck Valley Waterbury and Danbury campuses, take a moment to enjoy the artwork on display. The Mattatuck Community Collection at NVCC is an ongoing partnership with the Mattatuck Museum, in which artwork focusing on the history of the Naugatuck Valley and the artists of Connecticut has been loaned to us for a period of 100 years to share with the campus community.

          In addition to The Mattatuck Community Collection at NVCC, The Heroic Individual collection is a permanent display on the seventh floor of Kinney Hall. The Heroic Individual collection was first exhibited at the April 1982 convention of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, held in St. Louis, Missouri. The works created by Kenneth A. Larson and Ira W. Yellen were credited to have "captured the spirit" of community college students. The collection may also be viewed online through the campus’ digital archives.
