The Bridgeport Portrait Project

Through a combination of photography, audio, and video, we bring to life the stories and experiences of individuals from all walks of life, showcasing their values, beliefs, and cultural heritage. This project is a testament to the city's resilience and its people's ability to thrive and flourish despite the challenges they face.

The Palace & Majestic Theatres Memories Project

The Palace & Majestic Theatres Memories Project is a unique initiative that celebrates the history and cultural significance of the two magnificent theatres on Main Street in Bridgeport. Through architectural photography and personal stories, we bring to life the memories of those who spent time at these iconic landmarks, which were built in 1922 and closed in the 1970s. This project is a tribute to the city's rich cultural heritage and its people's ability to preserve their history and traditions.
