Description
Women of Legend combines found object art with creative whimsy to please the eye and stir the soul. Meet archetypical women from history and myth whose personae are most familiar and whose names resound in cultural memory. Artist and decorator Jennifer Nelson draws each figure out of our collective unconscious and brings them to life, accompanied by ?Herstory? and appropriate embellishments, this exhibit is a joy to behold. Everyone will enjoy the opening reception, scheduled from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, August 23, particularly little girls and boys, who can indulge their imaginations in the dress-up corner, and eat a piece of ?doll cake? straight out of 1950s American life. The exhibit continues in the library gallery through Sunday, September 21, and is open during regular library hours beginning at 10am daily except summer Sundays. Starting Sunday, September 7 the gallery will be open from 1-4pm.
