“Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.”

 – Stephen Covey


May’s theme is inspired by the CAFC core value of trustworthiness.

We value dependable and consistent support.

We understand trust as a first step in building fruitful relationships.

Let’s keep expanding our essential arts and culture network.

Let’s do our part to build a healthy, thriving Coastal Fairfield County.

The paintings in this exhibit by Cultural Alliance member Sarah King are inspired by reflections of motherhood.
