About Open Air
Open Air is an outdoor art exhibition developed as a response to this unusual time of limited public activity. The artworks in the exhibition offer new vistas and opportunities for reflection, and we hope you will enjoy our campus as a thought-provoking space of community engagement and personal inspiration.
Open Air has two components: Open Air by Day, which presents sculpture and installation art on the grounds of UConn Avery Point, and Open Air by Night, which presents evening art film projections onto Branford House and the Avery Point Lighthouse.

Best wishes to our gallery assistant Maya Bustamante, who will be continuing her studies in the BFA program in the Department of Art and Art History at the Storrs campus in the fall! Maya has been a devoted member of the AVS Gallery team, who, in addition to working with the public during gallery hours, assisted with designing the exhibition layout for our recent “Narrative Imperative” exhibition. Today is Maya’s last day in the gallery. Thanks Maya and good luck! We look forward to seeing where your artistic talents will take you!
