The Art Connection is the longest continually running series of art classes for young artists in Pittsburgh. Now in its 95th year, The Art Connection will challenge students in grades 5–9 to create unique artworks inspired by the work in our galleries, culminating in an exhibition of their own at Carnegie Museum of Art. Educators will facilitate art experiences in painting, printmaking, drawing, ceramics, and mixed media, and students will have access to a wide variety of materials and tools to pursue art-making that is in line with their interests and creative passions. In addition to art-making, artists will make connections to the exhibited artworks, engage in peer discussion, and collaborate on the curation and marketing of their student exhibition.
Exhibition
The culminating exhibition will be on view April 20–28, 2024, in the Hall of Architecture at Carnegie Museum of Art. A Youth Celebration and Opening Reception will be on April 20.
