DOWNLOAD THE PROSPECTUS
Culture is ideals, values, or rules for
living.
Culture is shared, learned, symbolic, cross-generational,
adaptive and integrated.
Culture is the totality of socially transmitted
behavior, patterns, beliefs, institutions and all other products
of human work and thought.
WHAT’S ART GOT TO DO WITH
IT?
Art is a vehicle that reveals culture. It
gives a voice for who people are, what they do, and how they
respond to the world. The material products they produce
give evidence that culture exists.
Creative Arts Workshop invites artists
throughout Connecticut to submit art that relates to their personal,
social, and cultural connections. A brief statement addressing
these ideas will also be considered by the Selection Committee,
comprised of local community leaders and artists. This
reflective exhibition will communicate the many ways that we
define our culture today.
