About the CADC

Our Mission

The CADC upholds creative excellence by recognizing the success of individual creatives, as well as fostering connection, collaboration, and experiences that enrich the personal and professional lives of current and future creatives, alike.

By creators for creators

Founded in 1975, the CADC was created to give the ones doing the work a platform to celebrate ideas and each other. Since then, we’ve brought Connecticut’s creative community together around a wide range of programing and events, including our annual awards show.

Our Past Presidents

Presidents for the CADC have served anywhere from two- to three-year terms. We are thankful for every one of them for being part of our legacy.
