5) Exhibitions and Events That Engage and Inspire
The Westport Arts Center’s exhibitions are designed to be socially relevant and to engage and inspire the community. Featuring both local and global artists, the exhibitions can inspire an arts appreciation in the entire family. In 2016, the Arts Center programs centered on the theme of bullying, offering a platform for a meaningful community dialogue. See what’s on view now.
