Celebrate Creativity at the Annual Student & Faculty Exhibition
Creative Arts Workshop Showcases the Talent and Imagination of Its Vibrant Community
New Haven, CT — Creative Arts Workshop (CAW) proudly presents its Annual Student & Faculty Exhibition, on view October 10 – November 15, 2025, in the Hilles Gallery. This highly anticipated event continues a longstanding CAW tradition of celebrating the artistry, innovation, and dedication of its creative community.
Featuring more than 100 works from across CAW’s eight studios, the exhibition offers visitors an inspiring journey through a wide range of media—including pottery, fiber, book arts, prints, drawings, paintings, and metal sculpture. Each piece represents the unique creative vision of the artists who study and teach at CAW, reflecting the depth and diversity of artistic exploration happening within its walls.
The public is invited to attend the Opening Reception on Thursday, October 16, from 5–7 PM, where guests can meet the artists, enjoy light refreshments, and experience the full spectrum of talent that defines Creative Arts Workshop. Select works will be available for purchase, offering visitors the opportunity to bring home a one-of-a-kind piece from the show.
“This exhibition embodies the spirit of our community,” said Trina Learned, Executive Director of Creative Arts Workshop. “It’s a celebration of creative growth, mentorship, and the artistic exchange that takes place every day in our studios.”
A cornerstone of CAW’s programming, the Annual Student & Faculty Exhibition invites both new and seasoned artists to share their creative journeys. The show honors the organization’s founding mission—to make the visual arts accessible to all and to provide a space where creativity flourishes across generations and disciplines.
“The energy in this exhibition is contagious,” added Barbara Harder, Printmaking Instructor. “Visitors will see how the act of making art—whether by a beginner or a master—connects us all.”
