Inspiration In Isolation: Dimmick Memorial Library’s Art Contest

For many of us, life has been both a bit stranger and a bit slower than usual. In many cases, this means inspiration has been in more abundance than ever before, and—best of all—we’ve had more time to indulge it.

Dimmick Library is inviting our local artists to share that inspiration with us and the rest of the community!

From now until October 4th, we’re accepting entries for our very first Art Contest! The winning pieces will be professionally framed and displayed in the library for everyone to admire. Here’s how it works:

  1.  Email us one piece of your original artwork—a painting, photograph, drawing, or digital art—to the email address below.
  2. Artists under the age of 16 will be in one category. Artists over the age of 16 will be in their own as well. There will be one winner from each group!
  3. Finalists will be displayed on our website and Facebook page between Monday, October 5th and Monday, October 12th, to give the entire community a chance to vote for their favorites!
  4. The two winning pieces will be professionally framed—at no cost to the artists—and displayed in one of two locations at Dimmick Memorial Library!

Email a clear, high-resolution photo of your entry to dimmickevents@gmail.com before SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4TH!

When the winning pieces can be acquired by the staff at Dimmick Library, they will be framed, then displayed.

The contest is open to any resident of Carbon County who is not currently an established artist.

Library Giving Day is April 10th!

*CANCELLED* Book Signing with Sen. Yudichak

*** Update 2/19- Due to the possibly hazardous conditions tomorrow, the book signing has been cancelled! Stay tuned for the announcement of the rescheduled date! ***

 

**Update 2/12- The event has been rescheduled to 2/20/2019 due to Tuesday’s inclement weather. **

The library is excited to have Sen. John Yudichak reading and signing his book, “We Saved the Bees and Butterflies!” “We Saved The Bees And The Butterflies” is based on two young students, enrolled in the SHINE after-school program, who are curious about the decline in bee and butterfly populations. The proceeds of the book sales will benefit the SHINE programs of Carbon, Schuylkill and Luzerne counties!
