Westwood resident, artist, and activist Domenic Esposito's Honor Tour will stop at the Westwood Public Library's main branch from 4pm to 6pm tomorrow, May 14. The Honor Tour is part of Esposito's larger Opioid Spoon Project (OSP).

The Honor Tour will make stops in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, and Rhode Island. Esposito's brother Danny struggles with a substance use disorder connected to opioids. "The outreach from the opioid community has been overwhelming and humbling from those who have been affected, so I decided I wanted to meet these amazing people first hand, and wanted to share a spoon created specifically to pay homage." Esposito states, "The Honor Tour is my way of giving back, and to further acknowledge those who have been devastated by the opioid crisis, and to personally let them know I grieve with them, and do what I do for them."
