Art Exhibitions
Every few months the Sherman Library, as part of our effort to promote cultural enrichment, features the works of a selected local artist. Over the course of a year, many different types of art can be seen such as traditional, abstract, watercolors, oils, pastels, as well as photography. Not only is the artwork enjoyed by library visitors…it’s for sale. In fact, a percentage of any sale is donated by the artist to the Sherman Library.

Our Current Exhibition
“Great Hollow Art Show Invitational 2024”
Art Show September 6 - October 9, 2024
The Sherman Library is pleased to announce a group show featuring the artists from the seventh Annual Great Hollow Juried Painting and Photography Show 2024. The winners, honorable mentions, and committee members have been invited to participate and share their love of nature celebrating the Great Hollow Nature Preserve through their depictions of wildlife and the beauty of the seasons.
The featured artists, using their paint brushes or cameras, have captured a swan’s serenity, the majestic stare of a coyote, the scary eyes of a bear, the delicate beauty of a flower, a colorful mushroom and more. They have also depicted beautiful woodland scenes and colorful fields of flowers. They remind us of the many faces of nature and how it offers us joy and beauty to nourish and replenish our souls.
The Sherman Library show will showcase these selected painters and photographers: Christy Bonaiuto, Denise Cassano, John Charles, Phyllis Chadwick, John Clery, Carolyn Cohen, Karen Golden, Linda Hubbard, Jeff Ginsburg, Andy Kimmel, Susan Locke, Doreen O’Connor, John O’Donnell, Masumi O’Donnell, Linda Sperry, Gary Stanford and more!
