THANK YOU TO COTTON BODELL!

Over the past year, MoCA Westport has been set up for success thanks to Cotton Bodell, a participant in the Westport Connections Transitions Program.

Cotton has been hard at work behind the scenes helping our Academy team. He has helped us organize our art supplies, care for our gardens, set up materials for classes, and much more. Most importantly, his kindness and willingness to help our teachers and students has helped to create a welcoming and inviting environment for all who visit MoCA Westport.

We are incredibly grateful to Cotton for working with us, and congratulate him on a job well done. Our partnership with Westport Connections is a component of our larger MoCA Gives Back program.
