Every person has a unique strength to offer the world, and the greatest gift is sharing that power with the next generation. Over the course of four months, student artists learned important lessons from everyday heroes who impact Bridgeport’s communities and beyond. The exhibition is presented in partnership with the Housatonic Museum of Art and Catalyst CT. Exhibition made possible by the generous support of The Eileen Harris Norton Foundation and Milford Photo.
