ART SCENE


WHAT:
Art Show
WHERE:
Hamilton-Wenham Library in the Young Adult Area
WHEN:
April 27 through May 31

An art show of work by Annie Li and Hannah Kwon can now be seen in the Young Adult area of the Hamilton-Wenham Library.  Annie and Hannah are students at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School. Annie’s hobbies are music (playing the piano and listening) and art.  When asked about her work Annie said, “a lot of my art pieces reflect the 'moodiness' of music; my art is generally not based off real things”.  Hannah smiled, hung her work, and left so quickly there was no chance to ask her about the inspiration behind her pieces, you will have to come and see for yourself.   
Their show runs through May.

All teen artists are welcome and encouraged to submit their artwork for display in the Young Adult area of the Library.  Work submitted must be ready to hang on the wall, and the Library reserves the right to accept or reject any work as it deems appropriate. For more information, please stop by the Hamilton-Wenham Public Library, or contact Kim Claire, Young Adult Librarian at 978.468.5577, ext. 14, or at kclaire@mvlc.org.
