Please join us as we celebrate the inaugural issue of AROUND THE TOWN, a new community magazine that seeks a light-hearted approach to a variety of topics of interest in the Hudson Valley. Editor Marian Armstrong shares that the first issue cast a spotlight on The Hudson at Piermont, an 1852 painting by Hudson River School artist Jasper Francis Cropsey. The topic prompted a closer look at six local landscape artists who paint among us today and how they wish their work to be remembered in the next century. The artists featured in our PIERMONT IN ART show are:

Sue Barrasi
Margaret Grace
James Kimak
Dan Lukens
Grace Mitchell
Frances Wells

The show will be on display throughout the month of January.  We invite you to stop by the library anytime. 

The next event in our popular series Create and Sip for Adults with Alexis Starke is coming up! You asked and we listened- this month’s Create and Sip will be in person! Join us on Wednesday, January 15th, from 6:30 – 7:45 pm to create a fun and colorful architectural sculpture inspired by Congolese visionary artist Bodys Isek Kingelez.

Bodys Isek Kingelez or Jean Baptiste is known for his models of fantastic cities, made of cardboard, paper, tape and other commonplace materials. We will start out with a quick slideshow full of ideas and then explore some fun sculpture techniques as we create our pieces. All of our Create and Sip projects are designed to be fun and inspiring for all levels of experience from beginners on up. Each participant will receive a goody bag with chocolates and a mini bottle of wine. All art materials will be included.

Registration for Piermont/ Sparkill patrons opens on Friday, December 20th, at 9:00 am. Registration for all opens on December 27th at 9:00 am. Please click here to register
