More about the show:
The Keyes Gallery will be a temporary home to an exhibit of children’s book illustrations, curated by Stony Creek resident and award-winning children’s book author Sara Levine. This is the first time a show of its kind will be part of the library’s art exhibits, with work from the following artists on display, loaned from either the artists’ themselves or from R. Michelson Galleries of Northampton, Mass.:

·         Selina Alko

·         R.W Alley

·         Micha Archer

·         Ashley Barron

·         Eric Carle  

·         Jason Chin

·         Ian Falconer

·         Angie Kang

·         Grace Lin

·         Brizida Magro

·         Maurice Sendak

·         Ed Young   

Viewers can expect to see Caldecott award-winning pieces and will be sure to recognize images from such books as Olivia, Where the Wild Things Are and the Paddington Bear series. An original Eric Carle illustration that did not make it into a book will also be on display. Additionally, there will be stunning illustrations from more recently published books for visitors to discover. Accompanying the art on the walls will be copies of each book that is featured in the exhibit so that visitors may re-read old favorites or perhaps explore new ones, all while seeing the artwork first-hand. Most of the pieces will be for sale.
