A VIGOROUS VITALITY: CCP NORWALK LEAVES AN INTERNATIONAL FOOTPRINT
The Center for Contemporary Printmaking (CCP) has used much of what we’ll all probably think back on as our “pandemic year” to brainstorm, adjust programming and make changes to its existing infrastructure.
A one-time $50,000 NEA grant through the CARES Act has helped keep staff fully employed and involved in developing online courses. Changes inside the Center’s historic building at Mathews Park in Norwalk, Connecticut, reflect not only the infusion of money, but months of elbow grease. Executive Director Kimberly Henrikson said the arrival of Liz Bannish, who came with great expertise in OSHA requirements and regulations, proved a serendipitous stroke of luck, as she helped CCP establish new health and safety protocols.
