Color • Pattern • Texture
The Friends of the New Providence Memorial Library are proud to continue our Annual Community Art Exhibit again in 2024. All 23 of the artists are residents or work in or around the New Providence area. This year's theme is "Color Pattern Texture."
This three-month community art show, during June, July, and August 2024, will be an exciting mix of the arts and crafts. It was juried from many submissions, and we are pleased with the variety of mediums: painting, photography, quilting, fiber, ceramics, etc... It also reflects the library's objective of creating a “living room for the community."
The works are displayed on the walls of the Adult Reading area, in the front of the library, and in the Conti family Community Room, through the vestibule by the back door of the library. We also have three-dimensional works displayed on the shelves of the glass cabinet in the front of the library.
The Artists' Reception is Tuesday, July 9th from 5:30pm -7:30pm in the Conti Family Room
The exhibit will be on display until Sept 6, 2024
