Influencing Bridgeport– Denyse Schmidt Quilts

Bijou Square asks: Where were you before you lived here?

Denyse: Providence, Rhode Island

Bijou Square: What brought you here?

Denyse: Love

Bijou Square: What do you do in Bridgeport?

Denyse: Design and make quilts and textiles

Bijou Square: What’s one spot you could be in Bridgeport all day and why?

Denyse: St. Mary's By the Sea, because I love being near the water, and so many different kinds of folks visit to fish, hang out, and enjoy the day.

Bijou Square: What do you think we’re missing here?

Denyse: It would be amazing if we had an influential, quality art museum or gallery that would draw international attention and more artists, patrons, businesses, and services. And a high-speed ferry to NYC.

  • Once Upon A Time

    This is a love story. Except it has no boy meets girl, no diamond rings, no sobbing at the end. Instead, it is about a devotion between a community and it's budding neighborhood. Our non-traditional bunch includes artists, musicians, eco-urban planners, lego-enthusiasts, gourmet chefs, librarians, and historians. To name a few. Realizing the potential in our surroundings, we are collaborating minds and skills to generate change. Replacing the negative undertone with positive energy. Bringing awareness to the fact that our city is a cultural hub. And, we intend to leave quite an impression on our small dot of the map. What we do is where we live. Where we live is Bridgeport. Won't you be our neighbor?
