A different short will be featured each week, culminating in a farewell exhibition at the Bridgeport Arts + Cultural Council. The shorts will be incorporated into a large-scale projection mapping, which will be projected on highly visible building surfaces in Downtown Bridgeport. The mobile projection team will also use the shorts to promote various arts and cultural events throughout Downtown (e.g. Bridgeport Arts Fest, Downtown Thursdays events, gallery, film and theatre openings, etc.). City Canvases Bridgeport is organized by the City of Bridgeport, Downtown Special Services District, Bridgeport Arts + Cultural Council and the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County and supported by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of the Arts.

Theme: CHANGE (evolution, regeneration, morphology, history, rebirth, expansion and retraction); Content: Original works only.
