2013 - Illuminate! Bringing My Culture to Light
ArtLink 2012-2013 Theme Assignment:
We asked our participating artists to create pieces of art that illuminate (make understandable, clarify) an aspect of their culture that was particularly meaningful to them, one that expresses a cultural value they wanted to share.
The artists were also asked to include a natural, man-made, or even symbolic source of light in their pieces. This exhibition highlights the talents of over 300 young artists from 22 countries. Their work was selected from well over 5500 pieces that were produced as part of Creative Connections’ ArtLink program for the 2012-13 school year.
