The Woods Hole Public Library will be hosting a Community Art Project again this summer. In previous years, the Library has provided one specific material, such as catalogue cards, nautical charts, horseshoe crab sheds, and one year, even chairs! This year however, the Library will not provide the material, but rather, is designating the theme, which will be masks.
To be clear, masks do not have to be the material, but they must be the main theme of the piece. This seems to be the obvious choice for this year, featuring an item which has been so much a part of our lives for the past 15 months. Potential artists of all levels from the community are encouraged to think outside the box and create a piece for the show. The Library is convinced that people will surprise and delight us all with their creations.
As in previous years, this project will morph into a fund-raiser for the Library in that every piece will be included in an online auction to benefit the Library. All entries should be at the Library by Saturday, July 24. They will be on display till Saturday, August 7. During those two weeks the items will also be shown on the Library website while the online auction runs simultaneously. Details of the auction will be at the Library during the show as well as on the website www.woodsholepubliclibrary.org. Questions? Call the Library at 508-548-8961.
