Hartford Public Library ArtWalk: June 4 - September 30
Celebrate the latest ArtWalk exhibit at the Hartford Public Library with the opening reception of “Hartford Treasures: Arts and Artifacts on the ArtWalk" 
Friday, June 4, 2010 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm 500 Main Street, Third floor.
Exhibit runs from June 4 - September 30
“Hartford Treasures: Art and Artifacts on the ArtWalk,” an exhibit showcasing some of the wonderful holdings in the Library’s historical Hartford Collection, will be on display from June 4 through September 30, 2010 with an opening reception Friday, June 4 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
The exhibit will also pay tribute to Hartford artist and Hartford Public Library corporator Richard Welling (1926-2009). Welling chronicled Hartford’s changing landscape with pen and ink drawings for more than 40 years, capturing the essence of our community, landmark structures and city that continues to be a remarkable blend of past and present.
The tribute to Welling will hang in the Hartford History Center. “Hartford Treasures” will hang in the Library’s ArtWalk gallery, which opened in 2009. “Hartford Treasures: Art and Artifacts on the ArtWalk” is free and open to the public and can be viewed at the Downtown Library Monday – Thursday, 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. June 4 – September 30. The Welling tribute can be viewed in the Hartford History Center during its public hours, Tuesday through Saturday, 1:00 -5:00 p.m.
Artist's Reception: Please join us on June 4, 2010 (6pm–8pm) to celebrate this new exhibition in the ArtWalk at Hartford Public Library, located in the heart of the city at 500 Main Street.
About the ArtWalk
ArtWalk at Hartford Public Library offers one of the largest and most stunning exhibition spaces in greater Hartford and the opportunity for visitors to view art in a magnificent setting in their own community. The state-of-the art gallery rises above Main Street along a glass wall that floods the space with ambient light during the day and appears to glow as a jewel box at night. Exhibitions will offer an array of art experiences that reflect a variety of media, styles, and cultures in the art world, providing diverse viewing experiences, and allowing for many tastes. Art work is displayed on “floating” wall sections that allow the visitor to discover each piece while never seeing the whole exhibition from one vantage point. Because of the unusual cable system in place, one of the most unique aspects of the ArtWalk is that any wall and lighting configuration or arrangement can change with the nature of every new exhibition. The gallery was made possible through the generosity of donors to the Library’s completed Capital Campaign, especially the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation Fund at Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
