EMERGE Art Exhibition

September 10  -  October 8, 2021 

During the pandemic, we have been intellectually, emotionally, and physically challenged. Our community has certainly experienced loss during this unprecedented time. The Connecticut Center for Arts and Technology invites artists to submit art inspired by the word “Emerge”. Emerge is a fine art exhibition that explores our resilience as we push through to the other side of the Covid-19 Pandemic. We are in search of 2D images of your interpretation of emerging. We look forward to seeing your expression of this theme.  

Please fill out the form and upload your images. Your work will be judged from your images and if accepted, you will then have to drop off accepted work. When you drop off accepted work, please be sure each piece is labeled on the back.  Accepted artwork must be ready to hang.

All digital images must be in JPEG or JPG format. 

Entry deadline: Friday, August 27, 2021 by noon.
