This year we have two fantastic exhibits planned.
The first is A Celebration Of Dickens In
Pictures to mark the bicentennial of Charles Dickens that will run from
August 25 – October 31 at the Yonkers Riverfront Library Gallery. In addition
to the exhibit, I’ve organized two Day Of Dickens events, September 13th
that will include the artists’ reception, and October 13th. Both
friends of CBIG and our members will present artist demonstrations, craft
sessions, a discussion panel and talks with Dickens experts, performance readings
by The Friends Of Dickens, picture book story hours and a book signing and sale of published
works by participants. During the exhibit run, check the library for additional related Dickens offerings. All events are free and open to the public, ages 3
and up, great for the whole family.
Our second exhibit ends a fantastic year and begins
a new one. Mother Goose Re-Invented will
include both traditional takes on Mother Goose rhymes and stories as well as
twisted versions like the fractured fairytales that have been so popular in
recent years. This show runs from December 6, 2012 – January 16, 2013 at the
Flinn Gallery located in the Greenwich Public Library.
Look for further information on both exhibits on
this blog and sign up for email notifications so you don't miss exciting news about CBIG.
