Creative Arts Workshop (CAW) is accepting entries for its third biennial show, Cultural Passages, this year entitled What's Art Got To Do With It?, which runs Sept. 13 to Oct. 9, 2009. CAW invites artists throughout Connecticut to submit art that relates to their personal, social, and cultural connections.

All media will be considered, from traditional to contemporary forms including fine art (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.), folk art (quilting, embroidery, jewelry, etc.), and new media (film/video, installation, etc.).
