Thirty-six artists are participating in this fundraiser for the library. There will be a different group of artists on each weekend. For each show there will be a nice mix of different media: paintings, photography, fine pottery, jewelry, glass and glass painting and more. Many of the established artists we contacted agreed to do this event just to help out the library. Hurray for our community! So come see the work, meet the artists and support your library while doing your holiday shopping.

We also have a great raffle piece of a beautiful hooked wall hanging, donated by a wonderful artist from Nova Scotia who had heard about our first-time effort. One of her rugs was chosen by the family for a British Royal Wedding as a gift.
