Artist Display

Each month during the summer a local artist displays his or her work in the library. The June exhibit is a special one...it is the early work of  long-time Sandwich resident and  well-known  maritime artist and  member of the American Society of Marine Artists, Ben Neill. Ben died last year but his wife has consented to show his oil and acrylic paintings of sailing vessels. The display will be in and around the reference area and most paintings are for sale.
