Fairfield Museum Announces IMAGES 2018 Winners

FAIRFIELD, CT - The Fairfield Museum and History Center is proud to announce the winners of IMAGES 2018, its tenth annual Juried Photography Show. Winners were chosen in the categories of Landscape, Portrait, Architecture, Nature and Abstract. The exhibition of the winning photographs will open on Thursday, March 1, Fairfield County’s Giving Day, with a reception from 6-8pm. The public is invited to the Fairfield Museum, 370 Beach Road, for an evening with refreshments and the opportunity to meet the IMAGES 2018 photographers. All submitted photographs, not just the winning entries, will be shown on a slideshow during the opening event.

IMAGES 2018 is a highly-regarded exhibition that celebrates the exceptional work of talented, regional photographers. This year’s jury of Stephanie J. Coakley, John Cusano, and Harold Shapiro selected the winners from more than 700 entries from photographers in Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts. Two grand prize winners will be selected and announced at the March 1 Reception and Giving Day event. IMAGES 2018 will be on display through April 15. The Fairfield Museum would like to thank Southport Galleries for its continued support.

In addition to the photographs selected by the jury, the contest featured online voting for one “Viewer’s Choice” winner. Westporter Nancy Breakstone’s photograph Threads in the Sand was selected as the Viewer’s Choice and will be on display during the exhibition. The other winning entrants are:
