CFA Exhibition Celebrates 50 Years of History

The 50th-anniversary exhibition in the Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery, “Always Being Relation: 50 Years of the Gallery at the CFA”, features the works of more than 30 artists on display at the Center for the Arts (CFA) from January 30 through March 3, 2024.

With this exhibition, Associate Director of Visual Arts Benjamin Chaffee ’00, and Exhibitions Manager Rosemary Lennox push the boundaries of the usual “alumni” show format, putting in dialogue work by artists who studied at Wesleyan University with artists who have exhibited their work in the gallery since its opening in the fall of 1973.

“We’re hoping to show the amazing variety and quality of work that has come through Wesleyan, and also how important and vital the gallery has been to generations of artists,” Chaffee said.
