Today we’re talking about the power of public art and how murals can transform spaces, tell stories, and shape the identity of a city. I’m joined by three people who are deeply connected to that work here in Bridgeport. We have Jonathan Delgado, Deputy Director and Dianalys Bonilla, Planner II both with the City of Bridgeport’s Office of Planning and Economic Development or OPED and John O’Grodnick, also known as JPO, artist and consultant.

A conversation with Suzanne Kachmar of the Bridgeport Art Trail and City Lights Gallery on what is really happening in Bridgeport’s arts scene and why the city’s creative energy is rising right now.
