cARTie is CT's first and only nonprofit mobile art museum bus committed to bridging inequities in education and arts access across the state. On an annual basis, cARTie exhibits a juried art show of a diverse representation of high school students' art in highly interactive and participatory ways for our youngest learners and their school, family, and other communities. cARTie focuses programming on PreK-2 audiences and ensures all young children positive and prolonged early introductions to museum-based learning and opportunities for developing critical and creative thinking dispositions. Ultimately, cARTie presents itself as a space for, by, and with children, thereby reimagining the museum concept, deconstructing traditional models, and making sure the state's diverse children feel represented and empowered.
