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.

Valley Arts
Council
The Valley
Arts Council was formed for the purpose of creating and promoting
a connecting thread between 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 . The Valley
Arts Council is to ensure that the contribution
the arts can make to one's life is recognized, valued, promoted and
realized in the lives of all Naugatuck 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
The Nest Arts Factory's premise
is 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 . The Nest looks 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.
The Nest has created a place where the artist can have affordable studio
space to create their world. It 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
are also shared 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. The Nest Arts Factory vision serves the public
and becomes part of the fabric of the community serving both the old and
young as a place to experience one's thoughts, share ideas, dreams, and
creation together.
