MAY
Student Art Show

Mark your calendars for one of the highlights of the spring! The four Amherst public schools will be exhibiting at the Annual Student Art Show being held during the month of May at the Amherst Town Library. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the library walls and display cases filled with the best examples of beautiful high quality art projects that our local students are creating under the professional guidance of the Amherst and Souhegan School District teachers.

The Friends of the Library will place more than 400 artworks throughout the Library, including watercolors, oils, pastels, photographs, pen and pencil drawings, furniture, fabric creations, collages, masks and sculptures. The exhibit will be on display from May 5 through May 31, with a reception for the students and families on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 13, from 2:00 – 4:00 PM.

Thanks to The Friends of the Library volunteers this show has been a huge success for over 15 years. They sponsor and coordinate all the activities from picking up the art at the schools to hanging them throughout the Library, to contributing cookies and punch for the student reception, to removing the art and returning them at the end of the month.

The Friends are now seeking volunteers to help with various projects throughout the year. If you are interested in contributing to the community with some of your time and enjoy working with a fabulous group or people please contact Kim Ayers for details at 249-9108.
