Local artists exhibit through summer at Carrabassett Valley Library

CARRABASSETT VALLEY — Local artists are showing their art this summer through August at the Carrabassett Valley Public Library and Community Center Galler.
A wine and cheese reception will be held 4 to 6:30 p.m., Friday, July 19, in the Begin Family Community Room, for guests to meet the artists and celebrate their artwork. It is free and open to the public. The library is hoping for a nice evening so guests may enjoy the patio, browse the Forever Stones and Carrabassett Library Community Garden. The event will be free and open to the public.
Exhibiting artists this summer include Doug Archer, Morgain Bailey, Betsy Bass, Jessica Beer, Peggy Bishop, Karen Campbell, Bailey DeBiase, Joe Gambino, Joanne Noyes, Susy Sanders, Lucia Swallow, Patty Thomas, Barbara Stewart, Waylon Wolfe, Jill Snyder-Wallace, Barry White, Margaret Yocum and possibly more.
The Carrabassett Valley Public Library and Community Center is proud to share the exhibit space in its lobby gallery. Artists interested in displaying artwork for the community to enjoy may let the library know. The library has many public events and meetings that attract people to our Begin Family Community Room. The library requests a showing time of two months. Display periods include September and October during the busy Sugarloaf Homecoming Weekend (Columbus Day), November and December (includes Christmas vacation week), January and February (includes February vacation week) and the busy months of March and April.
An artist reception is usually planned for a late Friday afternoon/evening during the exhibit. Reservations to display can be made up to two years in advance, and the library askes that a two-month notice be given if the show is cancelled or postponed.
