LIBRARY SHOWS INFO AND GUIDELINES

May-July exhibits at Brunswick, Thurmont and Urbana libraries.

The shows will run from May 4 until July 31.  If a painting is sold the artist may hang another in its place but paintings are not to be removed to put in other shows.

Volunteers who have indicated an interest in planning a reception for the show(s) should work out plans with the curator for that show so that information can be included in publicity.Curators are Sharron Smih, Urbana; Paula Rubin-Wexler, Thurmont and Vicki Michael, Brunswick.

May 18 is a special art day for the libraries in recognition of the opening of the Brunswick gallery space.  It would be nice if more folks would be able to paint at the libraries and/or help with children’s activities. (The libraries have great spots for painting.)

Brunswick (Note that this library is closed on Fridays and Sundays)

There will be a reception for the Brunswick Library Exhibit. This will be held in conjunction with the unveiling of their permanent collection (two paintings at this time) on May 17th from 7pm to 9pm. This ties in with their anniversary celebration on May 18th and the FCAA exhibit. All food/drinks/etc. are arranged so we only need to attend. RSVP to Vicki by May 10th.
