POWNAL Damien McCaffery, the new director of the Solomon Wright Public Library, said he feels “very lucky to have walked into a fully realized community library.”
POWNAL The Solomon Wright Public Library has launched a search for a new library director to replace Jennifer Ryan, whose last day in the position will be Friday.
This show, composed of 19 pieces, is on display in storefront windows on Spring and Water Streets in through Labor Day. In order to maximize display hours, limit indoor traffic, and encourage social distancing, all artwork and accompanying labels have been reproduced on decals and placed directly on the window panes. Local artists who either reside in Williamstown or have a studio space in Williamstown were invited to submit artwork for consideration. Eighty-six works were submitted, and an initial round of voting by Williamstown Cultural District executive committee members narrowed the field to 44. Those finalists were reviewed by a jury that included Richard Rand, associate director for collections at the J. Paul Getty Museum; Elizabeth Sandoval, curatorial assistant at Williams College Museum of Art; and Joan Zegras, publisher.
