| |
Celebrate Westport in Central Village has launched a series of eleven arts events that highlight Westport’s culture and history but also provide a good time for people in Westport. Beginning in April and continuing through November, these events benefit the community through a wide variety of arts experiences, most of which are designed for the whole family. Many of the programs are free, or low cost for adults and free for children. Residents and summer visitors will be given a prime opportunity to learn about and enjoy the town’s cultural resources and Central Village. These events are funded by the Westport Arts Council with grants from the Helen E. Ellis Charitable Trust, administered by the Bank of America and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. For more information call the contact number for each event. |
