About Reimagine
Originally founded in 2014 by Lori Barnett, President of CAAE, and successfully produced until 2019
Arts Connect, with Lori's collaboration now as a board member, is excited to re-introduce this program in 2022.
​
“The inspiration behind the concept for this exhibition originally came from my daughter Grace.
She  regularly created abstract line drawings since the age of three.  I started recreating her drawings using
my own style and medium. I loved having an artistic partnership with her. All of our collaborative pieces
are signed with a combination of my name and hers. I imagined this would be a great idea for a fundraiser,
and, on a larger scale, to help public school arts programs in need.”
-Lori Barnett, Founder/President for CAAE
