Bridgeport Art Trail, Nov 10-13, 2022

Bridgeport is percolating with art as artists, organizations and community partners prepare for the 14th annual Bridgeport Art Trail. Festivities begin with the popular Thursday Night Downtown Kick Off Artists Party. Visitors can mingle and meander between the Reads Ground Floor Gallery at 1042 Broad St and the Arcade Mall next door, viewing 4 art exhibits, enjoying live music and lite bites. Participating venues include City Lights and Ursa Galleries. On Friday, discover the new downtown public art murals at the Happy Hour Public Art Crawl. On Saturday and Sunday artists invite the public to tour art studios citywide, American Fabrics, The NEST Art Factory, Metro Art Studios, The Knowlton and Reads Art Space. On Saturday your ticket purchase supports Ukraine We Stand at the Biju Theatre. Rock out to the music of classic Rock and Blues Hall of Famers, “The Name Droppers” band members performed and cut albums with James Cotton, Johnny Winter and Charlie Karp the bass player for Jimi Hendrix (That’s why they call themselves the Name Droppers.) Other live music options include the Greater Bridgeport Symphony, Punk Rock, busker-style music at the NEST Arts Factory and the Alternate Routes at Metro Art Studio.

The weekend closes on Sunday at the Bijou Theatre with a night of PechaKucha storytelling and the Crabby Cabaret. To find out just what is a Crabby Cabaret and learn about the full calendar of Bridgeport Art Trail events visitBridgeport-Art-Trail.org
