What have Putney artists seen and recorded, inspired by our beautiful Connecticut River? The Putney Public Library will have an answer to that question in a new show to be enjoyed there for the months of February and March. Twelve artists are contributing paintings, photographs and etchings to a collective exhibit that expresses their response to the stately Connecticut (\”Long River\” in Abenaki) in various seasons. It is a river that Putney borders but doesn\’t directly experience without an intentional visit as it is out of sight from the village. This show will bring up from the banks a glimpse of what twelve artists have seen and been moved to express.
The show includes work by Nancy Calicchio, Cicely Carroll, Neige Torrey Christenson, Brian Cohen, Basha Friedenberg, Ruth Grandin, Judy Hawkins, Gordon Jones, Deborah Lazar, John Nopper, Maryann Toffolon, and Margot Torrey.
For more information call Margot Torrey at 387-4481 or the Library at 387-4407 during Library hours.
The work can be seen in February and March during Library hours: Mon.-Friday, 10:30 to 6:00; Saturday, 10:00 to 3:00.
