Board service is a meaningful commitment, and we're incredibly grateful for the time, leadership, and passion that Christine Owens Morgan, former Board Secretary, and Megan Dawson Topliff, former Board Vice Chair, have shared with Arts for Learning Connecticut.

Their guidance and dedication have helped strengthen our organization and support our mission of ensuring every child has access to high-quality arts learning experiences.

Thank you, Christine and Megan, for the impact you've made and for the many ways you've helped our organization grow. We wish you both continued success and all the best in your next chapters!

Last weekend, we welcomed families from across Connecticut to the 2026 Family Arts Festival. It was a day filled with fun, creativity, movement, music, storytelling, and hands-on artistic exploration.

What made the event especially meaningful was seeing children and families actively creating together alongside our incredible Teaching Artists. From dance and visual arts to interactive performances and workshops, the Festival reflected the power of the arts to build connection, curiosity, and community.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, supported, sponsored, and helped bring this event to life. Events like this are only possible because of a community that believes the arts matter.

Take a look through the photo gallery and relive some of the moments from the day:
