Featured Artist through December
Quilt artist Susan Vassallo is the Featured Artist at the Freedom Public Library through the end of 2021. Susan is a part-time Freedom resident, and she has put together a special show for the library featuring many of her works never before seen in Freedom.
Susan creates unique and beautiful pieces using paint, fabric, stitching, and other embellishments. The textures, colors, and details work together to capture the viewer in a way that must be experienced only in person. Several of the works are large scale and cover the walls of our downstairs gallery from ceiling to floor.
Most of Susan's work is for sale, and a price list will be available at the library. You can learn more about her work at: https://www.svartist.com
You can view Susan's quilts during regular Library hours: Tues 2-7 pm, Wed 10 am - 2 pm, Thur 2-7 pm, Fri 12 - 5 pm, and Sat 10 am - 1 pm. For more information, call the Library at 603-539-5176.
