Here ye here ye, hello and well met, travelers!

Here we share the tale of the University of Hartford's 2026 graduating senior illustrators and their escapades in gathering the gold for the Penfaire! Some have also known it as the Illustration Majors’ Senior Show! Here, the scholars will debut the skills and the craft they’ve come to know over their four years of artistic wizardry.

The theme the students have decided upon this year shall be fantasy; otherwise, I should not be speaking in this ill manner. We have crafted this “Go Fundeth Me” for the sake of earning the coin to procure a number of provisions necessary to the quest. The quest being, of course; To commence a show most magical to wow an audience of friend and fiend alike. These provisions entail things such as frames for artwork, printing fees, advertisement, or even alternative food and beverages.

May you be a well-wisher, a friend, a mentor, or an evil wizard; any share of gold sent our way will be most appreciated. Even if you’ve not the coin to share, we hope to make your acquaintance on Saturday, April 18th, when the moon is at its peak (6 pm) in Joseloff’s Gallery.

Fare thee well, and thanks for humoring our tale!
