Pioneer Protests by Jon-Marc Seimon and John Rae
Join us at our Montague Center Branch to celebrate our latest installation from local photographers Jon-Marc Seimon and John Rae.
Public libraries exist to connect people to ideas, stories, and the history of the communities they serve. Throughout our local history collection, you'll find photographs, newspapers, letters, and other records that document moments that shaped Montague and the surrounding area. Together, they tell the story of who we are. In this spirit, The Montague Public Libraries have been a place for local authors and artists of all backgrounds to gather and foster conversations through their creative work. And, much like our local history collection, this exhibit carefully documents the diversity of perspectives that exist within Montague and Franklin County at large.
Artist Reception: Kerry St. Laurent’s Stitched Through the Seven Sisters
Stitched Through the Seven Sisters is a location-specific series about honoring an almost-daily practice of communing with nature as visual artist Kerry St. Laurent stitches herself through her local trail system. Matte hot press photographic prints are layered with matte gouache that nods to mapping and ink and colored pencil stitching that references both woven comfort and the idea that wandering counters life’s unraveling and knits us back together.
