This website includes representation from the students, the faculty and the alumni of the WestConn Art Program.

Eileen Coladarci, as a research coordinator for the Office of Institutional Advancement, worked with the Art Department to find those individuals who have graduated from the University with a degree in art.  She attends the many shows and events that our art community takes part in to showcase on this site, and creates liaisons within the art and University communities. She provides avenues for the alumni to show their work and encourages participation in the many University events available to WestConn Alumni.  This year the focus is to find new funds for the art department, scholarships and to continue this great project.

Click on the many links throughout this site to view works of art and the individuals who create them.

Please Note: Some of the images included in "Art after WestConn" or it's links may depict partially nude subjects.  These are representative of each artist's creative talents only and are the sole responsibility of the artists. Images are available for publication through contracts negotiated with the artists. All art enclosed herein is copyrighted
