Picturing America Program Series
The Library will host an art and American history appreciation program called Picturing America beginning on February 10 at 6:30 PM in the Community Room. Established in 2007 by the National Endowment for the Humanities, Picturing America is an innovative program for libraries that helps citizens gain a deeper appreciation of our country’s history and character through the study and understanding of its art. Over the course of ten sessions, art educator Kathleen Riley of Dover will present forty carefully selected works of art spanning several centuries–all by American painters, sculptors, photographers and architects. Future Picturing America program dates are: February 10, February 17, February 24, March 9, March 16, March 23, March 30, April 13, April 20, April 27. All sessions begin at 6:30 PM and are free and open to all. For more information or to register for the Picturing America series, please call 330-343-6123.
