This year's exhibition will be at the William Benton Museum of Art at the University of Connecticut, a fitting venue for showcasing the works selected from artists across the United States.
 

Accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, the William Benton Museum is the State of Connecticut's art museum. It holds a collection of over 7,500 works of art and presents exhibitions that include sculptures, drawings, paintings, prints, and photographs. Sited on the campus of the University of Connecticut at Storrs, the museum officially opened in 1967. The Benton has added works by Mary Cassatt, Thomas Hart Benton, Fairfield Porter, George Bellows, Gustav Klimt, Rembrandt Peale, Maurice Prendergast, Hank Willis Thomas, Kiki Smith, and Jaune Quick-To-See Smith among others. The Benton is a vital part of UCONN's environment, a museum of distinction, and one of the Northeast's most important art venues.

​The opening reception and awards ceremony will take place Friday, May 30, from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibition will run from May 27 through July 27, 2025.
