STAPLES VISUAL ARTS

Staples High School, Westport CT

SPARK Art Exhibition Packs MoCA June 11

The Westport Public Schools Visual Arts show, SPARK, brought out area art lovers June 11. The exhibit, which ran from June 8-11, featured work from PreK artists to seniors in high school. The walls were covered wth evidence that art is thriving in our schools. Also featured was a special exhibit by Westport Artist Mark Yurkiw. A 3-legged 50ft. Arch, “SisterCities Bridge for Lyman Ukraine,” supported art created by our Westport students to let the school children in Lyman Ukraine know they are not forgotten. 

In case you missed it, you can get a taste of what was on display in the Spark program below.
