More Information

The library will remain open later than normal on Friday April 10th to participate in the CVCA Gallery Walk. We are hosting prolific artist Cyrene Swallow with music by local musician Robert Linton.

Cyrene Swallow uses watercolor and oil to make bold color compositions. Her work is rich, deep with color, with many washes and heavy pigment. Her motto was described in Susan Sarback's book, Capturing Radiant Color in Oils as "full color seeing" rather than "local color." Cyrene's peers have said she is a "colorist" and she accepts with pleasure.

When: Friday, April 10th 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Where: Logan Library
