Take Home Art Kit
March is Youth Art Month and we are asking children, teens and adults to celebrate! Pick up a take home kit of materials: a 4"x4" canvas and easel, and a set of acrylic paints and brushes beginning Monday March 7. You may also use any medium that you have at home to create your canvas, such as watercolors or markers. The subject of your painting is up to you but make sure to bring it back to the library by March 30. We will display our tiny art show from the end of March through April. Come be part of the fun! Registration is required.
Discovering a Masterpiece
On March 14 at 7 p.m. join us for The Discovery Of A Masterpiece (online) with Mallory Mortillaro. She serves as the Curator of Collections for the Hartley Dodge Foundation in Madison, NJ. While she was cataloging the artwork housed inside of the Hartley Dodge Memorial she uncovered a masterpiece that had been lost to the art world since the 1930’s. After a year of research the piece was authenticated as an official work by Auguste Rodin. Mallory will share the story of how a simple art cataloging project evolved into a search for a mysterious piece’s provenance, and became one of the biggest art finds in recent history! Mallory holds a BA and MAT, both from Drew University. She balances her work as an Art Historian with teaching 7th grade English. She lives in Whippany, New Jersey with her husband. Registration is required for this virtual event. The join link will be shared after registration
