What is art? Many times I’ve heard a variation on the saying, “I’U know it when I see it.” Well, I’m not going to try to define art, but I am willing to promote the arts in Perquimans County so that many people will be able to see it and judge for themselves. In the past year I have met some very talented people and the library board’s decision to sponsor a juried fine arts show and sale has afforded me the opportunity to work with some artists I might not have other wise met. This year’s exhibit will showcase the works of Perquimans County residents Rebecca France, Audrey Orlikowski, Stanley F. Smith, Linda Morris, Brenda Lee Daniels and Jackie Hobbs. In addition, Mary Haines Friesen of Fullerton, California and Snug Harbor will participate. Perquimans County natives Jerry Sullivan of Richmond, Va. and Patricia Long Crowder of Raleigh round out the roster of artists. The efforts of the library board, library staff members and volunteers will culminate when the art show opens on Sunday, Sept. 10. David Green has volunteered his carpentry and painting skills to install a picture rail in the children’s room so that we now have “gallery space.” Mary Alice Brinn and Paige Underwood have volunteered to serve as co-chairs of this year’s show and are presently busy plan ning the opening reception. WhUe everyone is invited to the opening reception on Sunday, Sept. 10 from 2-5 p.m., the show wUl be available for viewing during regular library hours through Tuesday, Sept. 26. All works will be for sale. The library will receive a com mission for each piece sol with the money raised earmarked for computerization of the card catalog.

You may have seen articles in the paper about meetings for individuals interested in exploring the possibility of forming an arts council. After two meetings, the outlook is very positive that many people are interested in seeing such an endeavor succeed. Some information has already come to light about a similar councU that existed in the 19702.
