As part of the 125th anniversary celebration of Moore Free Library, the Board of Trustees is hosting a reception for this month's Crowell Art Gallery exhibit of the Robert L. Crowell Art Collection on Saturday, February 11, from 1-3 p.m.
Bob Crowell was a strong supporter of the arts and shortly before his death in 2001 he traveled southern Vermont in search of works he felt reflected the vast diversity of the artistic culture of the area. Contemporary pieces by Mallory Lake, Jules Olitski, Emily Mason and Wolf Kahn hang alongside works by Eric Aho, Roger Sandes, James Urbaska, Marcy Hermansader and others. Johnny Swing's "Penny Chair" and Jim Florschutz wood and stone "Shrine to the Sun Shaman" sculptures are included in the collection.
