Shake off the mid-winter blahs with fresh art!

 The Dove is hosting an art sale fundraiser to support creative and educational programming that is offered to the community free of charge throughout the year. Works of art donated by artists and collectors will be sold with 100% of the proceeds going to support the arts center.

We will also be hosting a number of artist pop ups for your browsing pleasure. Artists include: Jacc Shutter, Maddie Caruso, Bernadette Bos, and Dahlia Wist.

 If you already own original art, this is a great opportunity to add a new artist or theme to your personal collection! If you’ve never purchased art, this is a chance to experience the first-time thrill of changing how your living space feels with the addition of a handmade creation.

 Come on in, have a look, enjoy the arts center, and consider an art purchase! Maybe you will find something that evokes a favorite place or memory, or maybe you will fall in love with how an artist has used color or texture. And there’s always the chance you will find something you love and won’t know exactly why, but you can think about it as you see it every day! If you do make a purchase, you’re sure to bring joy to yourself and others by supporting The Dove’s free community programming.

Practice the art of encaustic photo transfer: we’ll begin with a brief history of encaustic painting and safety precautions, then learn how to prepare a wood panel to complete the photo transfer, and finally transfer some images, resulting in a visually unique print. There will be some stock photos available to transfer, but if you would like to use your own photo, please email it to aandrasik@pypl.org by May 20 and the library will be sure to have it printed and ready for you. No experience necessary! Registration is required; to sign up, please visit https://bit.ly/artsdraftspy. Open to adults only, as we will be working with heat.
