Creative Arts Workshop Celebrates the Creativity of Its Community with Student & Faculty Exhibition
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 8, 5–7 p.m.
Hilles Gallery at Creative Arts Workshop | 80 Audubon Street, New Haven
Creative Arts Workshop invites all to celebrate its annual Student & Faculty Exhibition in the Hilles Gallery at 80 Audubon Street in New Haven.
Featuring the work of more than 120 student and faculty artists, the exhibition fills both floors of CAW’s Hilles Gallery with a vibrant cross-section of the creativity happening throughout the organization’s studios. Works represent CAW’s diverse visual arts departments and showcase the range of approaches, perspectives, and artistic voices that make its community unique.
The exhibition is a celebration not only of finished artwork, but of the creative process itself. From emerging artists taking their first classes to experienced students pushing their practice further, the exhibition reflects the welcoming, collaborative environment that has been at the heart of Creative Arts Workshop since its founding in 1961.
The exhibition also includes a special selection of ceramic work created by students in CAW’s Summer Arts Adventure program, offering a glimpse into the creativity and imagination of the next generation of young artists.
“We are thrilled to bring together the work of so many members of our community in one exhibition,” said Jennifer Simpson, Executive Director of Creative Arts Workshop. “The Student & Faculty Exhibition captures what is so special about CAW: people of all ages and experience levels coming together to learn, experiment, take creative risks, and share their work. It truly is a celebration of our community.”
The opening reception will offer an opportunity for members of the press to view the exhibition, meet participating artists and CAW instructors, and learn more about the organization’s role as a cornerstone of New Haven’s arts community.
The Student & Faculty Exhibition will remain on view in the Hilles Gallery through November 15.
