Coleytown Middle Schools Gets Art Upgrade over Break

Westport Arts Advisory Committee: 

Westport artist Eric Chiang stands beside his large-scale acrylic painting installed at the newly refurbished Coleytown Middle School, which will greet students when they return to classes Monday. Are We Born Connected?, a three-piece (triptych) canvas measuring 4 feet x 15 feet was hung in the school’s grand staircase, on what had been a beautiful yet vast empty space. Arranged to display by the Westport Arts Advisory Committee (WAAC,) the painting will be on loan to CMS until the end of the school year. Although the public cannot visit in person, the piece may be viewed on WAAC’s website, along with 1500+ other artworks that comprise the Westport Public Art Collections (WestPAC).
