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.

Librarian
While the art show wUl cer
tainly b e a highlight on my
social calendar in September,
there’s more news on the arts
front in Perquimans County.
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.
If you’re interested in join
ing this yet unnamed groups,
caU the library at 426-5319 and
we’ll add you to our list.
