SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Rooted in Community: Portraits of Everyday Heroes"
DESCRIPTION:Every person has a unique strength to offer the world\, and the greatest gift is sharing that power with the next generation. Over the course of four months\, student artists learned important lessons from everyday heroes who impact Bridgeport’s communities and beyond. They run small businesses and grassroots organizations\, advocate for equal rights\, and raise the next generation. This exhibition is an homage to these secret superheroes who make the world better. Based on the lessons that they learned from these dynamic individuals\, the student artists created photographs and paintings for the exhibition with the mentorship of Tyese Williams\, Robert Stone\, and Alicia Cobb. \nThe exhibition features original works of art by Alexandra Pascoal\, Jasmine Acevedo\, Santiago Mota\, Alex Echeverria\, Jermel Allen and Jaylynd Leon. \nThe exhibition is presented in partnership with the Housatonic Museum of Art and Catalyst CT. \nSpecial thanks to Noel Sepulveda at Preventive Health Solutions; Kelvin Ayala at Karaoke on Main; Louis Zayas at Bijou Theater; Vanessa Liles at PT Partners; Isaac Redd Vann at YMCA and Daddy Backwards Entertainment\, Matilda Rodrigues at Educational Advocate; Don Wilson at Bridgeport Youth Lacrosse Inc.; Christopher Hayes Jr.; Fary Palacios at Diamond District Barber Shop; Raquel Rivera at A Pinch of Salt\, LLC; Melissa Perez Constantine at Catalyst CT The HUB; Joe and Carol Goss of Gifted Hands Boxing Academy; Chris Velez at Future Painting LLC; Evelyn Medina PT Partners; Brandon Clark at Park City Music Hall; Alicia Cobb at Art Simplicated; Adrian Albelo at Printhouse Custom Apparel; Quason Robinson and Christopher Ramirez at Gifted Hands Boxing; and John Lett at Hip Hop 1001.
