Style, Glitz, Glamor And Artistry Abound At MoCA Westport Surrealist Soireé
On Saturday, MoCA Westport hosted its first community fundraiser in four years; the very first at their home at 19 Newtown Turnpike, Westport. The art center moved from it's small Riverside Ave location in 2019 when they began a one year renovation of the former Martha Stewart studios after a over one year major renovation.

The Surrealist Soireé brought together 150 guests to celebrate and provide critical support arts programming in our community.
Guests arrived as their surrealist selves and donned outfits that evoked the theme of the evening. They were delighted by an aerialist and stilt walking performers, and were able to enjoy the current exhibition Purvis Young: This is the Life I See, on loan from the Collection of Lynne and Jack Dodick.
