Welcome to the Walsh Art Gallery
The Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery seeks to establish direct, interactive and meaningful connections with students, faculty and the Fairfield community. As a practical study laboratory and host to a wide range of diverse and multicultural exhibitions, lectures and educational programming, the gallery plays an extremely significant and visible role at Fairfield University - enhancing the academic programs of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts as well as the cultural programs at the Quick Center for the Arts. Through innovative exhibitions and outreach educational programming for adults and elementary, secondary and university students, the gallery also seeks to offer the community a cultural haven for the arts. A trained and dedicated group of adult and student volunteers and interns help the Walsh Art Gallery to carry out both our academic and community mission.

Bramble and Bramble: Remnants, Glyphs and Palimpsests
In their painting and mixed-media work, artists Frank and Pamela Bramble independently examine the beauty of the worn surface and the tenuous and fragile nature of time-altered surfaces. Both artists acknowledge that time has the capacity to transform art. It can change its relevance; it has the ability to abrade it physically. For some pieces the effect of time pulls work apart, for others, time forces the melding of elements.
