Christo-Jeanne
Claude
Their work
is visually impressive and often controversial as a result of
its scale, the artists have repeatedly denied that their projects contain
any deeper meaning than their immediate aesthetic. The purpose
of their art, they contend, is simply to create works of art or joy
and beauty and to create new ways of seeing familiar landscapes. They
created works of art using oil barrels early in their career. To
se images of the oil drum works, click on their name, then Some Art Works,

a painter. She taught at Southern Connecticut State University

Valley Arts
Council
The Valley
Arts Council was formed for the purpose of creating and promoting
a connecting thread between those among us who are artists and
those who have an interest in experiencing the arts. Sometimes the
only difference between a life full of art, and a life void of art,
is the simple accessibility of the arts. Our mission is to ensure that
the contribution that the arts can make to one's life is recognized,
valued, promoted and realized in the lives of all Valley residents. The
Valley Arts Council has an ongoing commitment to recognize that a community
which encourages, supports, and fosters the arts, empowers its citizens
to think, work and live creatively.

Nest
Arts Factory, Bridgeport, CT
They take the premise that
art is a visionary process in regard to its influence on society. It is
a verb and not a noun. It is not static - constantly evolving and synthesizing
. We look at the process from a holistic point of view. Looking at every
part that makes up the whole. In this synergy there is a dialogue between
the artist and society. For this dialogue to exist there needs to be a
place for the artist to express themselves. At the Nest we have created
a place where the artist can have affordable studio space to create their
world. We have also created open spaces for the performing and visual artist
to share their work with the community both near and far. This creates the
environment for the artist to evolve. These open spaces we also share with
the community to be part of the process. This philosophy is that art is
not secular and it is part of the innate human process to be shared with
everyone. It is our vision that the Nest Arts Factory serve the public and
become part of the fabric of the community serving both the old and young
as a place to experience one thoughts, share ideas, dreams, and creation
together.
