High School Art at the Library
The Friends of the New Providence Memorial Library are happy to share news of the latest art exhibit at the Library. The artists are our very own High School students. The Friends curators Denise Moser, Beth Spiegel and Lynn Celler, and Jennifer Florencio, the head of the Art Department at NPHS, have installed the 2023 Annual Student Art Show in the NPML gallery areas: The Conti Family Community Room, the Reading Area and the glass cabinet display cases.Everyone is especially pleased with the quality of the student works this year, which include many mediums of drawing, acrylic paintings, mixed-media collages, photography, graphic design, and digital art.
The show is an inspiration to all the children who visit the library, seeing the works of the students of their high school. It is also for the enjoyment of the residents to see what the students are producing in the school that they support. The exhibit will be up on the walls until Friday, June 2.
You many know the Library has a new Strategic Plan created with public input and designed to guide our Library forward over the next five years. The Friends of the New Providence Memorial Library promises to support this new growth for expanded programming. We want to keep our Library the unique, vibrant, cultural and educational community center we all love.
