MoCA Westport and the Westport Arts Advisory Committee (WAAC) announce the opening of The Westport Idea, a new exhibition featuring selected works from the Westport Public Art Collections (WestPAC), co-curated by Westport Town Curator Kathleen Motes Bennewitz and Liz Leggett, MoCA Westport’s Director of Exhibitions, and with Ive Covaci, Ph.D., WestPAC Director of Education and curator of the ‘Learning Galleries.’

The exhibition will enable audiences to enjoy selections from WestPAC holdings of more than 2,000 artworks at a public venue. Most of these works are housed in public schools and municipal buildings, not always accessible to the public. Artists range from Tom Wesselmann to Henri Matisse to Jerri Graham.

All safety and health protocols will be explicitly followed.

MoCA Westport thanks Wendy and Jacques Bouthillier for their generous support in funding The Westport Idea exhibition. Their gift allows the Museum to make this extraordinary collection available in a formal museum space for the first time.
