Have you ever had an experience where you found yourself coming together with others whose mindsets, approaches and/or backgrounds were completely different from your own and it ended up with very surprising or inspiring results? Artists share their art & true stories on this theme from the stage at The Westport Library. At the end, we will open up a community conversation on the theme. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

OUTwork explores issues of gender, LGBTQ life, love and relationships, family, social justice, bias, personal stories and perspectives, pride, current issues of 2024, etc. Artists need not be gay, lesbian, nonbinary, or transgender to participate. Allies welcome.

The intention is to support the greatest possible inclusion and to create a platform for people of diverse backgrounds to meet and exchange ideas and to express their support and respect.
