Distance LearningCheck Out our Students’ Artwork at the Atlas
For the third season, Art Connection in the Capital Region (ACCR) has collaborated with the Atlas Performing Arts Center to expand public access to visual art throughout the District. St. Coletta is proud to announce that we have joined this effort to organize an exhibition that pairs artwork created by our students with works from artists within ACCR's collection. At the close of the show, artworks will be gifted to local nonprofits for display in the public areas of their agency. Please take a look!
