Art in Action: Young Artists' Vision of 2020
2020 was a particularly disorienting year for youth experiencing remote learning, physical distancing and social unrest. We wanted to hear from them, so in the fall of 2020, we called on teens from across our region to submit creative work that captured their thoughts and emotions in this time of pandemic and protest. Art in Action began as an online gallery and evolved into a physical exhibit shown at several locations throughout the Greater Hartford region in 2021.
View our gallery below to see what these young artists submitted.
