Works by two Kawartha Lakes artists are now on display at the new Bobcaygeon library at part of a new community art program and artists display space.
The program was developed as a partnership by the Kawartha Lakes Public Library and Kawartha Art Gallery to help support local artists.
The Bobcaygeon branch of the Kawartha Lakes Public Library at 23 East Street South opened to the public last November. At 5,000 square feet, the new branch has more than double the 1,800-square-foot space of the previous branch at 21 Canal Street.
“The new Bobcaygeon Library Branch is a wonderful and inviting space, flooded with natural light,” says library director Jamie Anderson in a media release.
“Having local artists display in the space really makes the library branch a community hub.”
The new community art program will feature works by Kawartha Lakes artists Judy Jackett and Stan Wojtaszek until the end of January.
Jackett works in oils, pastels, charcoal, and watercolour, and four of her watercolours are on display at the Bobcaygeon library.
Wojtaszek is a photographer whose style has evolved from a documentary nature to one of an exploratory and abstract style, and four of his photographs are on display.
Local artists who are interested in having their works displayed at the Bobcaygeon library in 2024 can email the Kawartha Art Gallery at art@kawarthagallery.com for more information on how to apply.
