Almost 25 local and area artists will be contributing to the exhibit, among them, a freelance theatrical costumer who was one of a small army of artisans working on the internationally acclaimed Broadway production of “Hamilton.”
The exhibit will be staged at 1 Main St., in the old library building in the former Calypso store, and an opening reception will take place on Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. and is open to the public.
The exhibit will then again be open to the public on weekends through Sunday, Nov. 4. StoryFest is a joint effort of the Westport Library and public schools.
