The Community Arts Challenge is a juried competition to encourage creativity within the Cortland County community and enhance the profile of the Center for the Arts and Cortland Arts Connect as venues for local artists and performers. The Challenge is an opportunity to use one’s artistic talents to communicate a common theme. The artistic theme for the 2025 Arts Challenge is “CONNECT” The exhibits and performances that result from this competition will be open to the public to celebrate the many ways our area artists interpret the topic of CONNECT.
