We are very pleased that Georgetown Art Works chose the library to be one of the venues for October’s Art Hop 2009. This event is a juried show of the work of Texas visual artists who work in oil, acrylic, watercolor, pencil, charcoal, ink, mixed media, photography, and printmaking.  Eighty-five pieces by 43 artists will hang at the library, at Dog-Eared Books, Cianfrani’s Coffee Shop, and Framer’s Gallery–creating the “hop” part of this event. The opening reception is Friday October 2, 6-8 p.m. at the library and the winners will be announced then. The show will hang until Thursday, October 29.

Also, check out the Happy Trails banners that are hung on the lightposts on the south side of the library. The library is a balloting place where you can vote for your favorite banner. See the others that are hung around the Square and on blocks adjacent to the Square–a total of 55 unique works of art.
