Ongoing Programs for Adults

Cathy Stalkie – “Nature is the art in itself”

“I started as a quilter and fell in love with the beauty of fabric. At the same time, I fell in love with the colours and textures of nature. I put the two together and attempt to represent colours and scenes from nature with textiles.”

View Cathy's textile art during the Bridgenorth Library's open hours in September.

 

The Bridgenorth Library is inviting local artists to submit samples of their work for display in 2027.

Submission Information

Submissions will be accepted from September 21 to October 31, and they will be reviewed in November.  We exhibit two-dimensional artwork including paintings, drawings, mixed media, photographs and prints.

The Selwyn Public Library has launched an exciting new project to collect and celebrate the unique voices of our community. Members of the Publishing Club have compiled stories and poems submitted by the public to include in an anthology, celebrating the talent and creativity of our library patrons. Copies of the anthology will be available for checkout at any of our three library branches in spring 2025. River Echoes: Volume One is now available on our library shelves.
