September's Art Exhibit Features Work by Sarah Gail Hutcherson

September’s art exhibit in the library’s program is "Blues Run the Game," featuring new work by artist Sarah
Gail Hutcherson.

The artist’s work features geometric and textile inspired patterns, all acrylic on wood. She paints on
repurposed wood that otherwise might be burned or thrown away. "Blues" was inspired by the artist's stay in
Northern California, surrounded by "rain, water, and beauty."

This exhibit may be viewed Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays from 
noon to 5 p.m., and at other hours when the program room is not in use.
