I. Program Overview
Art Shipping and Processing
The Art is a Gift
Your students are sending their art to their partner class as
a gift and will not be getting it back. Therefore, you may
want to reproduce your class art before sending it to us,
for use in your own future exhibits.
• All art pieces need to have a fully completed Artist
Description Sheet (ADS) with an artist's photograph
attached to the art piece. The ADS must include your
Program ID#.
• Please include the Packing List (located on page 10) with
your art collection.
• Allow 7-10 days for the package to reach our office at:
Mathews Park, 303 West Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06850 USA
• If you are an international partner who needs financial
assistance to cover shipping costs, please contact us well
before the deadline. We will provide you with a DHL
number.
We review and process all the pieces, including the Artist
Description Sheets.
At least one piece from each class will be selected for
this year’s online International Children’s Art Exhibit.
High quality reproductions of the selected pieces and the
originals (with each ADS) are then shipped to the partner class.
Important Note
The pieces we select for the International Children’s Art Exhibit
and other applications become the property of
Creative Connections.
We use these pieces for a range of educational purposes,
including “live” and website exhibitions, classroom workshops,
and for public relations purposes. We may also use
reproductions of the pieces to share with art educators and
young artists around the world and in other ways to support
our mission of providing cultural education programs to the
world’s children in the years ahead.
