WAG holds ribbon
cutting, dedicates new wing, and opens their Community Summer Show and Sale. EverythingWestport.com Monday,
August 24, 2015 Scores of
members, guests and the just plain curious came out late Friday afternoon to
help celebrate the dedication of the Westport Art Group’s new wing and to officially
open the 2015 annual Community Summer Show and Sale. Their new digs are
impressive. WAG president
Mary Benefiel thanked the Building Committee and board members for a job well
done. Renovations to
the kitchen and all-person accessible bathrooms will begin after Labor Day.
This schedule allows WAG to offer programs and events throughout the summer. “This project has
been a labor of love with members pitching in to make it all happen. We’re grateful
for the support and encouragement from the community,” Benefiel said. Benefiel praised
the building committee members: Paul Vien - Chairman,
Mary Benefiel, Heide Hallemeier, Bruce Hubbard and Peter Lenrow. Benefiel recognized
Damon F. May of May Architects, Joe Yates of Construction & Restorations
Services, and SITEC, Inc’s Sean Leach.
