Art Exhibition: “Of Dust and Dreams,” Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with “Of Dust and Dreams,” an art exhibit of paintings by Margarita Maxson. The exhibit will run from Tuesday, September 15, through Thursday, October 15. The paintings will be on display on the second floor of the Waid Building, opposite the Reference Desk.
The exhibit will feature a diverse body of oil paintings that traverse the lines between quiet naturalism, deep-seated cultural heritage, and mythological surrealism. From studies of coastal wildlife to expansive, panoramic narratives, this collection invites viewers to contemplate the profound connections that link humanity, nature, and the spiritual world.
For more information on the exhibit, call us at 203-637-1066 or email us at adultprogramming@perrotlibrary.org.

Join us at 10 am on Tuesday, September 22, outside the main entrance to the Library for Perrot Walks. We’ll walk at a leisurely pace and enjoy the beauty of Binney Park.
This is a drop-in program; registration is not required.
