What does it mean to be an artist and to build a creative community that lasts for generations? In this episode of Spotlight on Arts & Culture, Douglas Laustsen sits down with the patron saint of Westport Arts and a cofounder of the artists collective of westport, Miggs Burroughs, for a wide-ranging, deeply personal conversation about art, activism, community, and an extraordinary life in the arts. Hear stories of the generations of Westport artists, his upbringing and his father’s animation career, his very brief acting career and subtle protests during the civil rights movement, making lenticulars, the need for community as an artist, and even painting an egg for a president. Along the way, discover why connection and community can be just as essential to an artist as the work itself. A fascinating conversation with one of Fairfield County’s most distinctive creative voices and a glimpse into the people and stories that have shaped its vibrant arts landscape.
