Hank's Room Gallery

Each month, Kennebunk Free Library hosts a new exhibit of an area artist in the Hank's Room Gallery. The exhibit is open to the public during library hours except when the room is in use for a scheduled meeting.

The Creation of the Gallery

The creation of the art gallery in Hank's Room was made possible when the trustees of the Kennebunk Free Library authorized the auction of unused Library furniture (wooden card catalogs and fireplace andirons) to fund renovations to Hank's Room. With the proceeds from the auction the Library purchased track lighting, molding and paint to add gallery space to this multi-purpose meeting room. This project was accomplished outside the regular Library operation budget.

In January 2001 the Kennebunk Free Library began offering space in Hank's Room, our meeting room, to accommodate ongoing displays of art. This is a true community effort to expand the Library mission of life-long learning. It is not a business venture, but rather an educational service.

This opportunity is open to local artists of Wells, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel, as well as those who work but may not reside in the above-mentioned towns. This is a community service offered by the Library and the Library does not charge fees or commissions.

Artists exhibit for an entire month and receive a good deal of exposure. Each artist has the opportunity to host a reception, which in most cases, is open to the public. We have had a wide variety of artwork on display, which makes each exhibit unique and exciting.

Our patrons' responses to the exhibits have been wonderful, and each month they look forward to a new and exciting display. The art gallery has been very well received by both patrons and artists alike.

Book Discussion Group

Have you read  ... ?

 

A new monthly book discussion group for adults will meet on the third Thursday of each month from 10AM until Noon.  This is a bit out of the ordinary as we'll be focusing on one author or one topic each month rather than just a single book. 

 

The next meeting is Thurs., April 17th, and will feature the works of Edna St. Vincent Millay.
