Description: |
White: Diaphaneity Alfred Van Loen Gallery at the South Huntington Public Library in untington Station, Long Island, New York.
We proudly present Jeanne Lyons Butler's fiber artwork during the month of January, at the Alfred Van Loen Gallery. Butler has been a resident of Huntington for over 30 years. She has a BFA in painting and drawing, and has been working with fiber for at least 3 decades. The works exhibited are variations mostly in white or neutrals on canvas that infuse reclaimed materials, handmade papers, threads, paint and graphite. Butler engages a quiet, meditative but powerful statement in her compositions.
The Alfred Van Loen Gallery is located on the lower level. Monthly exhibits are on display from September through May, with an indoor/outdoor sculpture exhibit in the summer.
The gallery is open to the public during regular library hours. The public is also invited to attend exhibit openings to meet the artists and be among the first to view the new artwork on display.
Mr. Van Loen was a longtime resident of South Huntington and the original curator of the art gallery at the former Melville Road library, where his goal was to promote young artists. He held the position from 1969-1976.
After he died in 1993, the library trustees named the library's Community Room, which doubled as the art gallery/exhibit space, in his memory. When that building closed and the Pidgeon Hill Road library building opened in 2004, the new gallery was named in his honor.
The current curator is Deborah Katz, who coordinates the monthly exhibits. For information and inquiries, you can contact her at dk.hangingart@gmail.com.
The South Huntington Public Library's goal is to ensure the transmission of knowledge and culture, and to provide opportunities for improved quality of life to the diverse population of the South Huntington School District through free and open access to technology and information promoting literacy, education, enlightenment and entertainment. The library shall provide state-of-the-art software and hardware for public use and stay abreast of new and emerging technologies. |
