This exhibit is the culmination of Creative Connections' Rainforest ArtLink program, a six-month, class-based project where students in the U.S. and abroad create, exchange and dialogue with partners who live in the rain forest.

"Food for Thought," the Rainforest ArtLink theme for 2014, asked students to portray any type of food in their art pieces that highlights aspects of their culture hidden from others.

An opening public reception will be held in the main lobby on Thursday, Dec. 4, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The Norwalk Public Library is at 1 Belden Ave.
