We salute the creation of the ROmanian ARTist CONNection, a new workgroup of Romanian visual artists from Connecticut which will be part of Romanul Corp. RoArtConn seeks to establish a stronger connection between local Romanian artists and the Romanian community, through exhibitions, events and artistic projects that will educate, inform and increase the visibility of the artistic contributions and achievements made by Romanian artists in America.

MEANDERS
SILPE GALLERY
University of Hartford / Hardford Art School
West Hartford, CT
The second exhibition of the group Romanian Artists Connection took place May 20th – June 28th at the University of Hartford. It was curated and organized by Ioana Barac, with the help and participation of the other artists: Iulian Budea, Luiza Budea, Liviu Cupceancu, Ileana Dumitriu, Ioana Hobai, Flavius Lucacel, Adrian Panaitisor, and Ion Severin.
Hosted in a spectacular gallery space, generously provided by the Hartford Art School, the exhibit sought to explore the experiences that mold and erode our paths as we move through our individual journeys in life. What do we carry with us, what do we leave behind? What journeys have marked us, unfolding in our art? Through works of varied scale and media, our group of Romanian-born artists – practicing in the Northeast U.S. and Eastern Europe – showcased work that connects us across the geographies and time of our individual practices, from specific cultural roots, real places and characters to stories, fantasy, and transient 3D installations uniquely composed for Silpe Gallery.
