Perfect Portraits will be on exhibit for visitors, staff, and volunteers until December 9. Recently, Islanders brought in 45 pieces of art including twelve pieces of student art from Stillpoint School. The art includes self-portraits of the artists themselves, as well as friends, family, historic figures, favorite people, those with captivating faces, Mother Goose, Frankenstein, a Girl Scout and Leopard Girl. Enjoy an interpretation of a scene at American Camp located behind the checkout desk.
The library rooms are filled with art rendered in oil painting, textiles, photography, pencils, acrylic paint, cut paper and watercolor. Perfect Portraits showcases the broad range of talent on our island.
The shows are open to the public and anyone can bring in art to hang. All talent levels are welcome. The Library Art Committee hangs five shows a year with themes varying from Life With Animals & Pets, Bridges, Barns & Buildings, Art Quilts, Travel The World to In The Style of Great Artists. Cards with the themes and dates are available at the computer table. The next hanging will be on December 9 with the theme of GOOD EATS.
