The Drew Friedman Art Place at the Westport Book Shop

Westport Book Shop is partnering with the Drew Friedman Community Arts Center to feature different local artists' work at the Book Shop every month.

Our featured artists for September 2021 are participants in the art programs at

CLASP's Daniel E. Offutt Arts and Education Community Center

The Daniel E. Offutt Arts and Education Community Center is an innovative program developed by CLASP Homes of Westport, and serves adults with autism and intellectual disabilities.  Their goal is to help the people they serve to have lives that are full of dignity, joy, laughter, friendship and interesting choices.

Four enthusiastic and imaginative artists from the Center -- Fred Boages, Danny Freeman, Tony Sewell, and Steve Veno -- are displaying works that reflect each of their unique styles and their  interpretation of a similar theme.

Leonor Dao, an artist who teaches weekly classes at the Center, describes the artists as “full of creativity and exploration,” who offer one another support, encouragement and friendship.  There is always a “wonderful sense of success,” she says, when the artists experiment with a new theme, subject or medium that culminates in beautiful pieces of art.

The CLASP artists' works will be on exhibit at the Book Shop through September 30, 2021.
