The latest Library Art Exhibit celebrates the Scituate Arts Association’s 65th year while exploring the visions of its Front Street Art Gallery (FSAG) Artists who specialize in Photography, Oil/Acrylic, Pastel, Plein Air, Mixed-Medium and Watercolor.  Throughout 2023, we will celebrate the vision of our FSAG and SAA artists, Scituate High School Students and more at the Gallery and the Library.
​
The Scituate Town Library has always been a place to learn and read but through its partnership with the SAA and the FSAG, it is also becoming a place to view and enjoy the best of local art.   The Library art exhibits have always been a community outreach project for the FSAG and the SAA. Therefore, following the theme of this year’s shows at the Gallery – “‘ARTS ALIVE!’ FOR 65! DISCOVER  OUR ARTISTS’ VISIONS” – the Library and the FSAG have launched a three-month exhibit beginning January 4th featuring the works of fifteen Gallery artists (Dana Barunas, Bart Blumberg, Christine Bodnar, Judi Getch Brodman, Marianne Buckley Curran, Michelle Clarke, Candace Clark, Janet Cornacchio, Rich Foley, Carol Holder, Mary LoPiccolo, Mark Malinowski, Ed Mikenas, Kathleen Mogayzel, Paul Mogan and Davina Perl).  These works will change monthly.
 
“The library has a partnership with the SAA that began well before the present library was constructed, but the new Gallery Space (donated in memory of Frances Keohane) has really allowed the public to fully enjoy the talent that Scituate and its surrounding towns have to offer,” says Jessi Finnie, Scituate Library Director. “The Gallery is often the first stop for patrons entering the building and creates a warmth and vibrancy in the library. The Arts Association and Front Street Art Gallery take on the hard work of coordinating the exhibits, and the library and community reap the benefits of continually changing artwork from the Association’s and the Gallery’s talented pool of artists,”
             
Front Street Art Gallery, a juried cooperative gallery of over twenty local artists and artisans, is located at 124 Front Street in Scituate Harbor.  Gallery Winter hours are Thursday through Sunday, Noon to 5 PM or by appointment.
