Élan Vital features eleven artists selected through an Open Call by jurors Max Teicher and Emily White. Élan vital is a term representing the creative force within an organism that is responsible for growth, change, and necessary or desirable adaptations. The exhibition features painting, drawing, prints, sculpture, ceramics and site-specific installation work.

Simultaneous with Élan Vital, MoCA Westport will support community LGBTQ+ Pride Month and Westport Pride through two exhibitions, Unfit For Print and Love Wins.
