TO BENEFIT THE HAVERFORD TOWNSHIP FREE LIBRARY
Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony on Friday, April 8th, 2011 5:30 – 8:30 PM Free and Open to the Public
and Master Gardener Lecture Series Fridays at Noon
The Friends of the Haverford Township Free Library (www.friendsoftheHTFL.org) announce ART OF THE GARDEN (www.artofthegarden11.blogspot.com), an exhibition by 100+ artists, curated by Laura Jean Zito, to “Sow The Seeds of Our New Library” for The Haverford Township Free Library (www.haverfordlibrary.org). Haverford Township’s only library is an essential social hub to an active and cultured population of all age ranges, with over 800 visitors a day and 300,000 people a year, more than a small museum! The “Sow The Seeds of Our New Library” fund will contribute to the library’s annual upkeep, seriously curtailed in the last two years by a 33% budget cut of more than $300,000.00.
ART OF THE GARDEN is a juried group exhibition of over 100 artists: painters, photographers, printmakers, sculptors, potters and jewelers, from local artists of suburban Philadelphia to national and international artists. All works will be available for purchase, with 20% of sales benefiting the “Sow The Seeds of Our New Library” fund.
The show will open on Friday, April 8th with a reception and awards ceremony from 5:30 to 8:30 PM.
