About the Art Show
“My Story, Our Lives: Celebrating Student Art from Bridgeport & Ukraine” honors the art of storytelling by showcasing the compelling and diverse experiences of students in Bridgeport, CT and Ukraine taking part in our international Global Voices-ArtLink program.
This collection brings together diverse students from Bridgeport, CT and Ukraine, transcending political systems and geographical boundaries. We believe that art is a universal language, uniting us through the shared experiences and dreams of its young creators, promoting a common humanity that will lead to a more peaceful future.
Through their work, the young artists have expressed their identities, shared their stories, and conveyed the aspects of their lives and community they treasure or are concerned about.
Where: Housatonic Museum of Art, Beacon Hall, 3rd Floor
900 Lafayette Blvd., Bridgeport, CT
