Westport Public Schools Hosts Visual Arts Show At MoCA In June

The following release is from Westport Public Schools:

WESTPORT, CT — The Westport Public School Visual Arts exhibition, SPARK, will be showing June 8-11 at MoCA Westport. Inspired by the imagination and self expression of Westport students, SPARK is a PreK-12 showcase representing the creative spirit at work in the schools each day.

New at SPARK this year will be a special exhibit by Westport Artist Mark Yurkiw, "Help Build the Bridge: Westport-France-Ukraine." Constructed by Yurkiw and adorned with art from WPS art students, the bridge’s intent is to extend messages of good will to children in Westport’s sister cities.

In partnership with MoCA, their Teen Council, and WPS Visual Arts students and teachers, the SPARK exhibition serves as an expressive platform for students in visual arts to demonstrate multiple ways of knowing and learning that are inherent in the unique nature of each child.

Join WPS for a reception at MoCA June 11, 2:00-4:00pm. Please pre-register at
