Milton Painter David Dauer will show a virtual exhibit of his work at our website this month.   "Floral Arrangements," new work by artist David Dauer represents a transition over the past two years from his surrealistic stories to a new world of nature and life, using flowers as the vehicle to tell his stories.  In his new work, he develops abstract structures with rich textures to create a vibrant underpainting.  With that done, he draws his imagery and then paints using color washes and thick paint to create color.  He says: "Flowers, and in some cases landscapes, are the vehicle to convey my visual conversations.  Flowers represent more than what we see in the natural world.  They represent all life and the interactions we experience around us."  

David holds both a BFA (UMass,Dartmouth) and an MFA (Kent State U) with continued studies in design from UMass Dartmouth.  He has participated in group and solo shows.  For over 30 years, he worked in the Publishing and Advertising fields as a designer, art director and creative director.  Born in Brooklyn, NY, he grew up in Framingham, MA.  For 35 years he lived in Milton, MA until recently settling in Canton, MA with his wife Debbie.  You can see the exhibit starting 10/1 at:  https://miltonlibrary.libguides.com/art

Fashion expert Karen Antonowicz will give a virtual presentation this evening called "The Golden Age of Hollywood."   Fashion on the silver screen during the 30's, 40's, and 50's was not only glamorous and influential, but also was enjoyed as an "escape" from the problems of each decade.  In the Depression era, folks could attend the movies as a way to forget their current circumstances, while the films served as both escapism and news reporting during the long years of World War II.  Finally, the 1950's movies continued to show elegant fashions that were inspiring to the audiences of that period, but the advent of television caused fashion influences to be split between the silver screen and the smaller TV in America's homes.  Join us as we travel through these fascinating decades and enjoy a glimpse into the glamour of that golden age.

This program is kindly supported by the Friends of the Milton Public Library and is free and open to the public.  Advance registration is required here; once signed up, a Zoom connection link will be Emailed to you on the day of the program.

Ms Elaine and Buddy invite you to join us LIVE for rhymes, songs and stories for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, ages 0-5. Oh, and Buddy says bring your teddies, too! We'll combine elements from our Baby Rhyme Time and Small Wonders programs for a time of teddy loving fun. (Teddies can be ANY species!)

Separate registration is required for each week and will open 1 week before the program. The zoom link will be sent to you shortly before the program starts each week.

Have a ukulele sitting in the garage?  Well, now's the time to dust it off and join us for a fun 3 course session October, November, December.  We will begin by introducing the ukulele, basic chords, and then take turns strumming online.  This program is half an hour long, and is for ages 8+.

The library has a limited amount of Ukuleles it can lend out. First-come, first-serve.  

Stories for ages 3-8. Miss Sara will offer this program live via Zoom. PJ's welcome; silly stuff is guaranteed!
