Mini Art Works 

Community artists of all different levels and styles have generously donated their creations from our Mini Art Exhibition held in October.

What Does Social Distancing Look or Feel Like to You?

How are you doing? We’ve been thinking a lot about our Roe Jan Library Community and wondering how you and your loved ones are coping during this pandemic and period of social distancing. We are each responding to this new, unprecedented life in our own ways. Please help us see how you’re living during this historic social isolation.

Send us pictures of your own artwork, photos, or other images that best answer the question: “What Does Social Distancing Look or Feel Like to You?” We will post these images on our social media accounts and in a gallery on our website for all to enjoy, and when our building reopens to the public, with your help, we will host a Community Art Exhibit featuring your artwork and photos. We miss you. Let’s stay connected though art.

Send your images to director@roejanlibrary.org

“During my weeks at home I have been using the most available model I have for portrait painting. . . myself. Inspired by artists such as Van Gogh, Max Bechmann and Rembrandt, who were well known for their self portraits, I decided to bring out my mirror along with my brushes. After a bit of self consciousness, my enjoyment of making art took over and I have been having fun. . . They may or may not not look like me, but the process has been quite satisfying and the serenity of the self imposed isolation has given me a bit of a creative push.” ~ Maj Kalfus
