Megan Marden MFA '12

Painter, Megan Marden (http://www.meganmarden.com/) created the site CT ArtList (http://www.ctartlist.com/) to provide visibility and valuable information to working Connecticut visual artists. The website lists information on 155 (and counting) Connecticut galleries and art spaces. Additionally the website provides listings for arts employment, internships, grants and residencies. Calls for artists and exhibition opportunities statewide are updated on a regular basis.

The curated image bank currently features 18 artists from every corner of the state, and in all different stages of their careers. An overwhelming majority of the featured artists are graduates of Connecticut art schools.


CT ArtList (http://www.ctartlist.com/) is presenting it’s first pop-up show of artists from the website’s curated image bank.
