'A Unique Perspective'
Featured Calendar Artist
Ryan Stubbs, "Untitled"
Ryan is an intuitive artist whose work demonstrates keen compositional awareness. The elements he paints can read as figures, landscapes, or the mere celebration of interacting forms. Ryan's artistic decisions are deliberate and sensitive.
Proceeds from the event will support The Kennedy Collective Autism Project which provides opportunities for children, teens, and young adults to engage in social and recreational activities while learning skill-building strategies. Find more information at www.thekennedycollective.org.

Opening Reception!
On Thursday, February 16, The Kennedy Collective Maggie Daly Arts Cooperative (MDAC) hosted the opening reception for our new 'SeeingRED' exhibition at the MDAC Gallery in downtown Bridgeport.
Artists, their families, staff and the community who gathered were the first to view the amazing work of MDAC and local community artists who joined together to explore the color RED, its iterations, emotive quality and power.
Seeing RED is open to the public through March 23. Stop in and enjoy this amazing and inspired exhibition!
Field Trip to the Fire Station!
On Friday, February 17, The Kennedy Collective Retiree Group, lead by TKC Support Staff Mike McGannon, enjoyed a field trip to the Milford Fire Department's Fire Station at 349 Naugatuck Ave. The firemen welcomed the group with open arms and treated them to a wonderful tour of the fire house, equipment and, best of all, the firetrucks.
The Kennedy Collective “retiree” group enjoys many adventures and has fun with peers that they have worked with in the past.
