Opening Art Show Reception: “My Story, Our Lives”
You’re Invited!
To the opening reception of "My Story, Our Lives: Celebrating Student Art from Bridgeport to Ukraine"
Join us on Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 5:30 – 7:00 PM at:
Beacon Hall, 3rd Floor, 900 Lafayette Blvd., Bridgeport, CT
“My Story, Our Lives” is an exhibit of 50 pieces of art created by students in Bridgeport and their peers in Ukraine as part of Creative Connections’ Global Voices-ArtLink program in 2025. Five classrooms in both countries teamed to create art pieces for one another that captured meaningful stories and experiences from their personal lives. In addition to receiving each other’s art, the Ukrainian and Bridgeport students met one another in two live videoconferences, sharing intriguing aspects of their respective cultures and daily lives, discovering that “My Story” is often indeed “Our Story.”
Accompanying the art are full artist descriptions and video interviews with the artists.
Creative Connections extends our heartfelt gratitude to the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation and The Andy Warhol Foundation for their generous support of this project.
