Westport Arts
Advisory Committee
Committed to increasing public awareness of Westport's cultural resources.

Established in 1994 by the late artist and educator Burt Chernow with founding members Ruth Steinkraus Cohen, Ann Chernow, David Rogers, John Simon and Ann Sheffer, the Westport Arts Advisory Committee (WAAC) is committed to increasing public awareness of the Town's cultural resources, past and present: its artists, artworks and institutions.

 

Appointed by the First Selectman, WAAC advises on the preservation of Westport’s legacy as an arts community, oversight of the Town Art Collection and ways to increase the visibility of the arts in our community.

 

WAAC meets on the second Tuesday each month at noon at Town Hall. Meetings are noticed and open to the public.
