Introducing the Compo Mural Competition!
Westport Parks & Recreation, in partnership with Westport Arts Advisory Committee (WAAC) is launching a brand-new initiative--the Compo Mural Art Competition! This opportunity is open exclusively to the Westport Community, inviting community members to design a mural that will bring color, creativity, and connection to the spirit of Compo Beach.
WHAT WAAC DOES
The Westport Arts Advisory Committee advises on the preservation of Westport’s legacy as an arts community, provides oversight of the Town Art Collection (WestPAC) and initiates ways to increase the visibility of the arts in our community. WAAC was founded by artist Burt Chernow in 1994.
WAAC's current initiatives include an annual TEA (Thinkers, Educators, Artists) Talk; the installation and maintenance of sculptures and monuments in town parks and the establishment of a Poet Laureate for Westport as of July 1, 2019.
