About the CADC
We’ve been independently serving Connecticut’s creative community for over 40 years.
We do this by sharing ideas, inspiring one another, and supporting each other’s professional growth.
Our Values
Abundance
We believe a rising tide lifts all boats. We don’t treat each other like the competition. There’s enough to go around for everyone.
Community
We shine a light on the world-class work being made right here.
Mentorship
We cultivate a community where students can find mentors to give them the productive advice they need to become successful.
Growth
We know being creative is only part of the equation, so we make sure our community understands the business of being in the creative business.
Thanks, Paul
Our Logo
Here’s a fun fact you can use at parties: the CADC logo was designed by graphic design legend (and Connecticut native) Paul Rand in 1986. We’re incredibly proud and fortunate to have our legacy mixed with his. It gives us a sense of context and acts as a reminder of our place in the design community. Long story short, we’ll be black and red forever.
