Artist Steve McBrayer, a past People’s Favorite in the annual Sequatchie County Friends of the Library Art Show, will show a piece organizers say is “certain to delight children and adults alike, a colorful wooden sculpture of an octopus.”The Sequatchie County Friends of the Library’s annual art exhibition, ‘Art & the Library,” is set for May 2-5.
The exhibition, featuring works by local and regional artists, will open with a reception on May 2 from 6-8 p.m. CDT at the Dunlap City Training Center, adjacent to city hall and the library near the corner of Cherry Street and Rankin Avenue.
“The reception and the show are free, and everyone is welcome to visit and see the impressive array of work produced by very talented community members,” said Nina Hunt, one of the library’s “friends” and an organizer of the event. Light refreshments will be provided.
“Although the show is part of Valley Fest, you will not need a Valley Fest wristband or entry ticket to visit the art show,” Hunt said. Dunlap’s 2019 Valley Fest festival runs April 30-May 5, and is held downtown at 287 Pine St.
Hunt says the exhibition each year shows off a surprising level of talent.
