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.

The exhibition features the artwork of Kim Weston, an Afro-Indigenous artist whose long exposure photographs at powwows invites her ancestors’ spirits to reveal themselves in the image.

Join us for the opening reception of "Rooted in Community: Portraits of Everyday Heroes" featuring painting and photography by local student artists. Free & open to the public; refreshments will be served.
