In March of 2020 Youth Art Celebration, an art exhibit featuring outstanding artwork created by Connecticut Art Students in grades preK-12 will take place at Central Connecticut State University. This event is specifically designed for members of the Connecticut Art Education Association, Inc. [CÆA].
