Student Self-Portraits in Children’s Room
In honor of Black History Month, the Children’s room at Newfield Branch Library is hosting an art exhibition of self-portraits created by third grade students from Dunbar School. The portraits will be on display until early March. The artwork was created through the collaboration of Silvermine Arts Center and Dunbar School and recently acknowledged in the New Canaan Sentinel.
