The Mueller Gallery at Caldwell University is excited to present Connexum: Caldwell University Kappa Pi 2025 Alumni & Student Exhibition, a group show featuring the work of former and current members of Caldwell University’s Iota Epsilon chapter of Kappa Pi, the international art Honors society. The exhibition will be held from Wednesday, Feb. 5 to Saturday, March 1, 2025. An artist’s talk will take place at the Mueller Gallery on Wednesday, Feb. 5 from 5 to 6 p.m., followed by a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Benjamin Fernandez ’24—the exhibition curator (under the guidance of Mueller Gallery Director Suzanne Kammin Baron), a member of Kappa Pi, and one of the exhibiting artists—says, “We constitute a diverse range of backgrounds, educational pursuits, creative practices, and media. Together, our work will converge in celebration of our continued collective commitment to and love for art.”

Originally conceived as a study group at the University of Kentucky, Kappa Pi grew into the Alpha chapter of the fraternity in 1914, with a shared objective to bond artists together to form a unit that is influential in the art department as well as the community. United in this cause, the expansion of the fraternity commenced with the establishment of several additional chapters across the country.

The history of what is now an international art Honors society has been shaped by wars, discord, changing attitudes, and numerous art movements, yet it has endured. Today, Kappa Pi spans hundreds of chapters in the United States and beyond, continuing to provide thousands of like-minded individuals a community of innovation, scholarship, and companionship, under the motto that art colors life and enriches living. The Iota Epsilon chapter at Caldwell University continues to induct new members every year.

The Mueller Gallery is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit here for directions.
