Each year we salute these fine folks with a party, complete with free food and an old fashioned Yankee Swap. All are welcome to this free event.

Art at Tilton - As If/Field Study - Series by Allen Fowler
2016-01-04 13:00 - 2016-02-07 13:00
Artist’s Statement: I have an affinity for abstract expressionism, its use of gesture, the energy and spontaneity, the color fields and graphics that suggest the landscape. In equal measure, I have always been struck by our need to slice, dice and structure the world around us from our gridded cities to the geometry we impose/compose on farm fields. The Field Study and As If Series revolve around this relationship – the character of the organic and the equally relentless human desire for structure and design.
All pieces are displayed on the second level of the library and are for sale to the public. A portion of the proceeds benefit Tilton Library.
