Mouse Arts and Letters Club

Mouse Arts and Letters Club is a Bridgeport social club for journalists, writers, translators, filmmakers and other people who want company while they work. Founders Morley Musick and Blair Paddock, both journalists, grew the club out of monthly News Nights and Translation Nights they had hosted around the city. The old bank building at 555 W. 31st St. has a film screening and events room, a coworking area, a reading nook in the former vault and a closet converted to a call and recording booth. Public events are free, and memberships pay for coworking access.
