Cherokee Marsh Exhibit at the Lakeview Library

Don't miss the reception for the NSAG Cherokee Marsh exhibit at Lakeview Branch Library on Saturday the 15th of November from 1 to 3 pm.

NSAG/Friends of Cherokee Marsh exhibit

Exciting news regarding this long-planned exhibit. The NSAG/Cherokee Marsh exhibit will be on display at Warner Park Community Center during October 2008. The Northside Planning Council will be holding its 15th Anniversary Event at the center on the October 10, as well. This is an exciting collaboration among NSAG, the Friends of Cherokee Marsh, the Northside Planning Council (NPC) and Warner Park.

More details on the show will be forthcoming soon.

But here are a few details to start with:

• One work of art per artist

• The art will reflect Cherokee Marsh

• It must be art that can hang on the wall

• Certain size limitations will be specified later

• Art must be ready to hang

The Friends of Cherokee Marsh will be providing informational text pertaining to the environmental aspects of the marsh and will be available to help identify plants, etc. After the exhibit comes down at Warner Park Community and Recreation Center, it will travel to other venues and those are being looked into.

If you have suggestions and/or would to help out in any way, please let Carolyn Gantner know. If you are planning to participate, please contact Carolyn Gantner -- emails sent to NSAG through this website can be forwarded to Carolyn.

Stay tuned!

Also, Katie is always looking for artwork to hang in the library. She was able to get a new hanging system, which is very easy to use. The art show looks great with this new system. If you are interested in sharing your work, please call Katie at the library at 246-4547 to reserve some time. You may also share the space with another artist or two, if you choose.

Also, please give Katie a big thank you for getting the hanging system in place!
