Senator Coleman was on hand for the kick-off of a month-long art exhibit by students from the Bloomfield school system at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford. The exhibit was titled “Idenity”. Here, Senator Coleman meets with one of the artists, Briana Belane, an 8th grade student at the Carmen Arace Middle School, and her principal Barbar Maybin. Briana did a self portrait. The purpose of the project was for students to talk about their identity, and to have a strong sense of self. (April 2, 2008)
