Staff Art Exhibit at Denmark Library

One exciting feature about the Denmark Library that not many people know about is our hanging gallery wall system along the walls to the Meeting Rooms. To showcase this feature, staff have submitted various artworks to be displayed along the walls. Mediums of pieces submitted include acrylic and oil paintings, photography, and fiber arts.

The Denmark Library would like to thank all of the talented staff members that contributed their work to our inaugural art exhibition. Your wonderful talents have made our branch brighter!

The exhibit will be available to view through Friday, March 6 so drop by and see it while you can!

If you are interested in submitting your own artwork for display, you can complete the submission form here. All submitted pieces must comply with the FCPL Art Exhibit Policy.

Wishes in the Moon: A celebration of Korean Thanksgiving ‘Chuseok’

Stop by the Sharon Forks branch and peek in the children’s area to see wonderful artwork created by students of Rabbitbrush Art Studio. These were created to represent the tradition of making wishes underneath the full moon during Chuseok, also called Korean Thanksgiving. 

Each painting is in the shape of a Moon Jar which utilizes a soft, round shape that is reminiscent of the full moon. The artists use Minhwa, Korean folk painting techniques, and traditional symbols to represent their hopes for the future.

Imaginative Fusion: 2nd and 8th Grade Collaborative Art Exhibit at Sharon Forks

Have you ever heard of the rare species Elpegfish? It's part elephant, fish, and penguin and lives in the deep sea. Elpegfishes sing beautifully, but don't let their angelic voices fool you! They eat flamingos and HUMANS (except their creator)!

The Sharon Forks Library is currently hosting a unique and imaginative art exhibit that showcases the creative collaboration between art students from Daves Creek Elementary and South Forsyth Middle Schools. 

Second grade students learned about different types of animals and crafted 22 illustrations of imaginary animals, each one a blend of characteristics of different species. Taking these imaginative drawings as inspiration, eighth grade art students then created "soft sculptures" – or stuffed animals – bringing the fantastical creatures to three-dimensional life using textile art techniques.
