July Art at the Bainbridge Library will be displayed on the First Saturday – July 5 

Like the First Friday Art, the Bainbridge Library will open its July Art Show on Saturday, July 5 (with the rest of Bainbridge galleries downtown).  The July artist, Justin Johnson, will host the reception opening his exhibit titled “Yellowstone” from 5-7 p.m. in the library meeting room.

Justin comments:

“My work for this show is a celebration of our wild- uniquely American animals and untamed places they call home. Each oil painting begins before the brush touches canvas: I handcrafted the wood panels and frames to paint on. This show and theme of Yellowstone is inspired by my fascination with our wild places here and how important it is for us to protect and enjoy them. I have visited Yellowstone as a child, and as an adult and feel it is a great way to share a uniquely American experience for this July Art exhibit. Through paint, I hope to honor these wild animals and landscapes- and to invite others to slow down, look closer, and remember what’s worth protecting.”

You can view this exhibition during the month of July during regular library hours (unless a meeting happens).  A portion of sales is donated to the library.
