In 2014, Westport Arts Center Artistic Director, Helen Klisser During, created the Westport Artists Collective with
five founding members: local artists Nina Bentley, Miggs Burroughs, Duvian Montoya, Jahmane West, and Tammy Winser.
Together, they developed the Collective to provide a place for artists to come together and create their own community.
