April is here! This month you can stop by the Freeland Public Library and see a sampling of the art available from our gallery. Pat Brooks, Moe Jerome, Sue Owen and Craig Sullivan all have pieces hanging in the library. Ed Bennett has a display of his carvings in the showcase in the lobby of the library. Stop by and check it out. The library is located at 5495 Harbor Avenue, Freeland. The library hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 11 am to 8 pm, Wednesday from 10 am to 5 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11am to 5 pm and Sunday from 1pm to 5 pm.
You will also have the opportunity to hear Ed explain how he creates his beautiful bird carvings on Saturday April 23rd from 1pm to 4 pm at the library. The program, An Introduction to Bird Carving, will include a demonstration and discussion of bird carving techniques. Participants will be able to ask our expert questions and use the skills they learn about painting on a simple bird cut out.
We are currently seeking new members. We are interested in your work. We have space for fine wall art, mixed media, three-dimensional interior and exterior sculputre, garden art, photography, fiber arts, pottery, jewelry, glass and much more.
Since we are a cooperative gallery started in 1992, we are owned and operated by the artist members. Our jury committee reviews all submissions for membership. This process insures the quality of the work.
We will be jurying new artists' work beginning April 7th. Please call Pat Brookes at 360-221-8351 or Moe Jerome at 360-730-5917 for more information.
There are hopes to reopen a physical location for the gallery this spring. Stay tuned for more details.
