The Friends of the Library, in collaboration with the Arts Council of Glen Rock, announces the reopening of The Gallery in the Glen Rock Library on October 1. The exhibition entitled “The Artists of Glen Rock” spotlights resident artists’ entries for the 2021 town calendar as well as their other works. Gallery hours coincide with the Library’s posted schedule.
Thirteen Glen Rock artists (several are members of the Arts Council) will show in the month-long exhibition: Yuliya Abova, Byron Arnao, Katherine Battle, Jennifer Collins, Karen Delaney, Michele Goycoolea, Lisa Hahn, Suzanne Kaselow, Michele Keller, Oxana Katsov, Peter Liman, Patricia Smythe, and Carol Trugman. Work styles are varied - from photography to relief print making, stained glass, watercolor, acrylic, oil, digital cyanotype, and oil and ink.
The Arts Council was formed in 2019 to nurture, advance, and bring to light artistic and creative endeavors happening in Glen Rock. The Council promotes, supports, and celebrates all forms of the arts.
The Gallery was established through a partnership with the Friends of the Library in 2006. Maintained by the Friends, it is a designated space and carries with it an opportunity to enhance the Library itself, and at the same time to enhance patrons’ cultural experiences. It has become a creditable exhibition space attracting artists within the local are community, norther New Jersey, and throughout the New York metropolitan area. The establishment of The Gallery further defines the important place the Library holds to all citizens of the community.
