The Bridgeport DSSD is an organization that works to improve the downtown area by focusing on beautification, public art, and economic development. I follow their account on Instagram Colorful Bridgeport on which they highlight many events and community activities. Today, I was able to attend the Bridgeport Art Trail walking mural tour hosted by them. I got to enjoy a variety of murals that paid homage to Bridgeport and it's history. The tour guide/Representative of the organization was so knowledgeable and very approachable. I can see all the hard work they are putting in. She showed us all types of public art from murals, light posts, decorated garbage cans and utility boxes. She pointed out the different architectural styles in buildings as we walked. It was an excellent, educational experience. read more
