The Pember Library and Museum invites members of the community to participate in its March 4th First Friday, which will be a collaborative show of creative work in various media from the hands of patrons. There is open call for the public to participate with one or several works of art or crafted items.
To date, twelve exhibitors are signed on to showcase everything from jewelry to paw prints: The Pember Quillers, Pember “A Good Yarn” Crafters, crocheted items by Ardyce Bresett, jewelry & antler art by Bernie Hoffman, painting on glass by Donna Henry, hand-painted items by Kristin Gibson, book art by Friends of the Pember, student art of Jennifer Dashef’s class, “Specimen” series graphic works by Christopher Smith, handbags by Gigi Zeitler, a historic home replica by Netty Lacroix and Creative Paw Prints by Lucy, the Pember cat. There is still time to submit work of your own! We will be utilizing both the library and museum for exhibition.
Two Bit Cowboys, an acoustic duo comprised of Jeff Gonzales and Aaron Hahn will be appearing for the first time at FF. The pair will perform original music, western swing, and some bluegrass and country that take you back in time. Gonzales’ finger picking is reminiscent of Chet Atkins, Merle Travis and Jerry Reed, but with his own twists, while Hahn supports his fine lead work with hard driving rhythms and a heavy downbeat to keep toes tapping.
Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Pember. The show opens at First Friday on March 4, and some of the work will be on display through March. First Friday is from 7 to 9 pm and admission is free. Anyone interested in showing should call the Pember by March 2 at 518-642-2525.
