Caitlin Chaisson, a curatorial assistant in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, will serve as juror for the Greenwich Art Society’s 109th Annual Juried Exhibition. The show runs from May 14 through June 11 at the Bendheim Gallery in the Greenwich Arts Council’s space at 299 Greenwich Avenue, featuring selected works by local artists competing for a place in one of the town’s established juried art events.
The involvement of a MoMA curatorial professional raises the exhibition’s profile and connects Greenwich artists with standards formed in contemporary museum practice. Juried shows provide external validation, a public audience, and résumé credentials that can help artists secure future exhibitions, grants, or gallery representation. The exhibition also underscores the relationship between regional art institutions and the larger art world, offering residents a concentrated view of individual artists judged through a formal selection process.
