October at the Art Center
October brings colorful leaves, pumpkins and Halloween. At the Fosston Community Library Art Center, it also means the annual used book sale. There will be a wide variety of books, magazines, DVDs, and CDs with nothing priced over $1. The only bargain better than that is your library card. Proceeds from the sale go toward library programming.
The pottery exhibit at the Sorenson Gallery is gone, but a new exhibit was scheduled to begin on Monday, Oct. 5. Laura Rach creates mixed media artwork with a positive message using paper, layering techniques, and acrylics. She is a native of Fergus Falls, but currently resides in Fargo, North Dakota.
I’m sorry to report that LoraLee Saeter has taken a new job and will no longer be giving piano lessons at the art center. However, I’m happy to report that Molly Peltier, one of the FCLAA board members, has stepped up to the plate so to speak, and will be available for lessons. A graduate of St. Olaf College, Molly also plays the flute. She and her husband Paul have two young daughters. Her phone number is 701-230-2214.
The Fosston Library Book Club will meet Tuesday, October 13, at 7 p.m. This month’s book is Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. Set in Australia mostly in the 1920s, the plot involves a lighthouse keeper and his wife who decide to keep the baby girl they find in a boat that washes ashore on their island. It’s a good read.
Writers’ group is scheduled for Thursday, October 22, at 7:30 p.m. No dues - no pressure - but if you enjoy writing or even think you might enjoy writing, come and see what it’s all about. If you have something to share with the group, that would be great; if not, you are welcome anyway.
Looking ahead to November, this is the year for the Auction for the Arts fundraiser, which is held every two years. The date is Sunday, November 29; the time 2 p.m., although the doors will open at 1 p.m. for a preview of the items. There are always many wonderful things to buy and refreshments to enjoy, so mark that date on your calendar and plan to attend.
One last item - the library will be closed on Monday, Oct.12, as the staff will be attending a workshop.
