Emi Shigeno's Show

Emi Shigeno, a local emerging artist, brings a playful, curious spirit rooted in her Japanese-American heritage to her work. Her bilingual, bicultural background inspires a “both/and” approach, blending styles and exploring diverse expressions with openness. Emi’s art captures fleeting moments and the subtle beauty of ordinary scenes, reflecting a childlike wonder and reverence for nature.

Emi's show is now open for public viewing! Join us in celebrating her incredible artwork at the opening reception on Thursday, October 10, from 5 PM to 7 PM. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this special evening together!

Student ArtWalk Winner!

CCAA is thrilled to recognize Andrew Fedosh, a sophomore from Henderson High School, as the winner of the Student ArtWalk at the Chester County Artwalk held on Saturday, September 28. Not only is  Andrew a talented artist, but he was also one of CCAA's best summer camp volunteers, bringing enthusiasm and creativity to each session and inspiring younger campers.

Andrew, who has been exploring his passion for art for nearly four years, first found inspiration in animated shows on TV and online, sparking his journey into the creative world. With his $250 prize, he plans to either save it for future needs or invest in new art supplies to fuel his creative projects. While his future path is still unfolding,  Andrew is certain about one thing: his dedication to producing more art and continuing his artistic journey.

​Congratulations, Andrew! We’re so proud of your talent and contributions to our community, and we can’t wait to see where your art takes you.
