Friends of the Buellton Library Spring Art Show – “Creating From Within”

The Friends of the Buellton Library Present their Spring Art Showcase in Honor of Mental health Awareness and Mother’s Day.

This exhibit for the entire month of May is entitled,“Creating from Within,” will feature four local artists from the Santa Ynez Valley, expressing the love-bond between mother and child, the joy of life, sharing thoughts and feelings without words, and visually representing deeply felt emotions as part of a self-soothing process.

The four artists exhibiting in our Spring Art Showcase are Renée Kelleher, Maggie Powell, Sherry Uyeda & Alexandra Yakutis presenting in various mediums: oils, graphite, water colors, colored pencil, charcoal, and ceramic.

This art will be on display for the entire month of May inside the Friends’ Room at the Buellton Library, which will be accessible for viewing during our open store hours (3 days per week, 2 hours each day), as well as, for the Opening Reception. Our open hours are: Mondays 10am-noon, Tuesdays 2-4pm, and Saturdays 11am-1pm.

Our goal for our art showcases is to highlight Local Artists from the Santa Ynez Valley and bring art appreciation to the community. The Friends’ Room is also a used book store, where we raise funds to support the Buellton Library, host lecture series, and other events.

We will be having a wine & hors d’oeuvres Artist Reception on Sat., May 2nd, from 4-6pm.
