I am participating in a painting project organized by Friends of Art Manchester. I am the treasurer (and chief blogger) of this organization and we are trying to get more public art downtown. Families in Transition has some residences that have bare walls. It's a match! We have artists and they have walls.
FIT is paying for the canvases and the artists are donating their time and expertise to create paintings to beautify the walls. You can find the details on the FOA blog (link above). We are starting with six 16" X 20" canvases and two 8" X 10" canvases. Some are already reserved. We hope that this will be an ongoing project and will encourage some local artists to join our organization.
Meanwhile, I have a display of paintings, prints and cards at the Derry Public Library. This will be up until the end of September. I had a wall display there in April and now I have my paintings in their beautiful display case. This is in Derry, New Hampshire. I lived there from 1979-1984. The library has expanded and has a different exhibit each month.
The display case is quite large and I went back a second time to fill in the extra space with cards. I didn't realize how many paintings would fit into the case. Photo below shows one section of it. I received some positive comments while I was arranging the paintings. That's always nice to hear.
