2021 Theme: How I Stay Connected to Others

The SCSF believes that encouraging children and teens to create art helps them form connections with the world around them. Artistic engagement helps children develop cognitive and emotional skills, giving them an outlet to express themselves and explore their own ideas.

This year’s theme “How I Stay Connected to Others” invited students to express how they have stayed in touch with family, friends, and others during a time of quarantines and social distancing. Students also demonstrated the challenges they have faced connecting with others because of restrictions due to COVID-19. For complete details, see the full description and rules: The Art of Connection 2021
