The Belmont Gallery of Art has a biennial art show of works done by members of the Belmont community. Two of my paintings will be in the show!
Coordinated with the library's town-wide reading program, the featured book is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver. Appropriately, the art in this year's show relates to all aspects of the cycles of sustainable agriculture: sowing, tending, harvesting, preparation, and distribution of food and plants.
This year's theme was selected as part of several interconnecting activities that center around Belmont's farming history and celebration of its 150th anniversary. When first incorporated, there were widespread fruit farms and market gardens. Belmont produce developed a reputation for quality and large size, and was sold at Faneuil Hall marketplace. Today, there is a farmer's market in Belmont Center on Thursday afternoons: www.belmontfarmersmarket.org.
Art Show Opening Reception: Friday, June 26, 2009; 6-8 pm (I'll be there)
Art Show Closing Reception: Friday, Sept. 25, 2009, 6-8 pm
