About 100 people turned out to celebrate Emergence on Saturday night at New Brackett Church. 

When Judy Fitch first solicited volunteers for a women's portrait project she thought maybe five friends would join her. 26 women responded and touched off a winter of inspiration and connection among island women of all backgrounds and artistic abilities.

With special thanks to Bridget who reported from the event, you can hear from the artists and the guests about the exhibit's impact.
