Every person carries a unique strength to offer the world, and the greatest gift is sharing that power with the next generation. Over four months, student artists learned important lessons from everyday heroes—people who shape Bridgeport’s communities and beyond. This exhibition honors these secret superheroes who make the world a better place. Inspired by the lessons that they learned from these dynamic individuals, the student artists created photographs, paintings, and sculptures for the exhibition.
The exhibition features original artworks by Jasmine Acevedo, Jermel Allen, Phillip Brockenberry, Alex Echevarria, Nacerima Evans, Madicyn Johnson, Jaylynd Leon, Carlos Marcolino, Jeremiah Nembhard, Alexandra Pascoal, Carlos Walker, Noah Womack.
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. Special thanks to Milford Photo. Curated by Brandon Smith and Tyese Williams with support from the Housatonic Museum of Art staff.
Free and open to the public.
