Call for Student Art

CT Humanities (CTH), with funding provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts from the Connecticut State Legislature

cARTie is fortunate to be founded, directed, and governed by individuals each uniquely qualified to bring the project to fruition: Clare Murray, Co-Founder and Executive Director; Tish Murray, Co-Founder, Board Chairperson, and Educator; Holly Hawthorn, Vice Chairperson and Educator; Diane Kendall, Secretary and Educator; Lindsey Kendall, Treasurer; Michael Gallagher, Ph.D., Finance Committee Chair; Adrianne Carter-Brown, Programming Committee Chair; Cal Inguanti, Fundraising Committee Chair; Emily Clark, Communications Committee Chair; Pat Keane, Board Member and Educator; Alexis Vondran, Board Member; Jackie Lema, Board Member; Penny Wohlstetter, Ed.D., Board Member; Elizabeth Katz, Educator; Kris Toohey, Educator; Lizzy Rockwell, Educator; Nailah Haq, Educator, Ramin Ganeshram, Board Advisor. All bring an explicit interest in confronting inequities in quality arts education access across Connecticut and a unique perspective and set of ideas. Together, cARTie's leaders are committed to cultural equity and intentionally working to be culturally conscious, anti-racist and anti-inequity allies. As an organization, cARTie recognizes it is not an expert on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion from within leadership, but it strives for a diverse staff and Board that is reflective of Connecticut with time.
