Biographical / Historical

From the Connecticut Arts Book: "The Connecticut Commission on the Arts was established by the General Assembly in 1965. Its mandate was broadly devised ot assist and encourage the development and appreciation of artistic activity and excellence. The Commission's long-range plan has identified certain priorities: to encourage artisitic excellence in all its diversity; to expand opportunities for artists to create and present their work; and, to increase public awareness and support of, and participation in, the arts of Connecticut in all its forms."
