The young artists of the 2020 Summer Art Intensive (CUSAI) rose to the challenge of learning remotely with creative spirit and determination. Taught entirely online this year, students worked remotely, turning their homes into artists' studios where productive energies flowed and amazing artworks were produced. The digital 2020 Summer Art Intensive Exhibition features student drawing, animation, graphic design, and digital photography. See all the galleries at the CUSAI site.
