The Kennedy Collective To Unveil 2023 Calendar

Trumbull, CT — The Kennedy Collective and M&T Bank are hosting a reception to celebrate the unveiling of The Kennedy Collective 2023 ‘A Unique Perspective’ Calendar. The reception will be held on Thursday, November 10, from 5:30 – 7:30pm at the organization’s Maggie Daly Arts Cooperative (MDAC) located at 1042 Broad Street, Bridgeport, CT (entrance on John Street). Guests will experience the Calendar and MDAC group exhibits, meet the artists and enjoy refreshments prepared by Soups and Such, The Kennedy Collective catering enterprise. All guests will receive a complimentary 2023 “A Unique Perspective” calendar.

This year’s ‘A Unique Perspective’ Calendar is dedicated to Mickey and Deirdre Daly, whose mother, Maggie Daly was the guiding inspiration for the Maggie Daly Arts Cooperative (MDAC), established in 2014. The Kennedy Collective President & CEO, Rick Sebastian, commented, “The Daly family has had a profound impact on MDAC and The Kennedy Collective Arts Program throughout the years. We are proud and honored to celebrate Mickey and Deirdre in this year’s calendar and at the event on November 10.” 

The Kennedy Collective calendar reception also celebrates M&T Bank, a treasured community partner, for their commitment to continuing its support of ‘A Unique Perspective’ – a month-by-month celebration of creativity, talent, and the transcendence of expectations when the impossible becomes possible.

On October 6, 2022, The Kennedy Center, Inc., renowned for its support and advocacy of individuals with disabilities, changed its name to The Kennedy Collective. The new name showcases the organization’s most valuable asset – the tremendous impact we have when we unite as a collective - and reflects its core belief that it takes a collective approach to ensure people with disabilities have a voice, are valued, and provided with opportunities to succeed.
