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.
