Spring Art Opening
April 6 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join us at the Pierson Library for the second instalment of our Art Exchange Program with Ephemeral Meditations. With the glories of spring soon upon us, the library is excited to welcome hugely talented nature-inspired artists, Kurt Budliger, Bruce Hathaway, and Allen Aardsma.
Bruce Hathaway
An award-winning Vermont-based sculpture artist, Hathaway’s stunning metal creations glimmer under the changing light of day. With over 45 years of experience, Bruce’s work can be found in galleries, public spaces, and sculpture parks across Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Ohio and Michigan. www.sculpturedmetals.com
Kurt Budliger
A dedicated conservationist and extraordinarily talented photographer, Kurt Budliger’s high impact imagery has appeared in well-known publications like Outdoor Photographer, Popular Photography, National Geographic Adventure, Outside Magazine, Vermont Life Magazine, Eastern Fly Fishing, Patagonia, The Nature Conservancy, and many more. www.kurtbudliger.com
Allen Aardsma
Finding his passion for wood carving at the age of 10 with only a small jackknife, Allen Aardsma is a true Adirondack treasure. With more than 200 species of birds and animals in his repertoire and over 3,000 individual carvings completed, Mr. Aardsma brings a profound sensitivity and tender appreciation to his subjects. The library is delighted to showcase a collection of Aardsma’s wooden treasures as they are quick to sell off the shelves of his studio. www.pondsidestudio.net
Our opening celebration on April 6 will be accompanied by refreshments, a nature-themed treasure hunt for kids, and free tickets for raffle prizes.
