DANBURY, CT — CityCenter Danbury is set to launch the inaugural Danbury Rising Art Expo, a new event spotlighting emerging artists from local high schools and colleges across the region.

The free public exhibition will debut Saturday, March 29, from noon to 4 p.m., at 9 Library Place, and will showcase the work of students from Western Connecticut State University, Naugatuck Valley Community College, Danbury High School, and other institutions. The event will be held in downtown Danbury and is open to art enthusiasts, collectors, and community members.
