“Gathering: Recent Work by Tom Linfield” on Display at the Alicia Ashman Branch

February 25th, 2009 Alicia

The work of local artist Tom Linfield will be on display at the Alicia Ashman Branch of the Madison Public Library during the months of March and April. The exhibit consists of ink and oil pastel works, and glass mosaics.

The artist will be appearing at the library twice during this exhibit to share information with the public about his art and techniques. Join us for an artist’s reception on Thursday, March 5 at 6:00 p.m. , when Linfield will be presenting a slideshow and speaking on his work. On Saturday, March 21, from 12 - 4 p.m., Linfield will be in the library making art, demonstrating technique, and answering questions for visitors to the exhibit. Learn about different materials, from oil pastel to gold leaf, look at sketchbooks, and see how a piece moves from blank paper to finished image.

Notecards created by the artist will also be available for purchase for the duration of the exhibit. $10.00 for 5 cards or $2.50 per card. The Madison Community Foundation has donated $25,000 to enhance our collection.  Help donate even more by purchasing these beautiful and unique note cards. Checks can be made payable to the Madison Public Library Foundation.
