Press release from the Southbury Public Library:

2/15/2024

The Southbury Public Library and Region 15 Schools would like to invite the community to join us for the Global Art Project: A Photography Exhibition. The exhibition’s purpose, obtained through The Besharat Arts Foundation’s “Art in Schools” project, is to bring to Southbury Public Library works of art to inspire empathy and understanding, encourage global connectedness, and inspire young people to see common humanity in a richly diverse world. Elementary students in Region 15 have been interacting with and enjoying photographs from this project since Spring 2022.

On opening night on March 5th, 6-7pm, Region 15 students will have the opportunity to lead by example in guiding visitors to appreciate, make meaning of, and dialogue about these works as docents. Light refreshments will be served.

The works will be on display in the Youth Services Department through March 30th.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Southbury Public Library and Region 15 Schools.
