Art Opening Reception: Barry Blitt
Saturday, June 24th
2 - 4pm
The Minor Memorial Library Community Studio is honored to welcome back Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Barry Blitt.
Since 1992, Barry Blitt has contributed illustrations and more than one hundred covers to The New Yorker, including “Deluged”, which won the 2006 Cover of the Year award, given by the American Society of Magazine Editors, and “The Politics of Fear”, a finalist for the same award in 2009. His drawings have also appeared in Vanity Fair, Time, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic and The New York Times. He has been honored with exhibitions and awards from the Society of Illustrators, Print, and American Illustration and is a member of the Art Directors Club Hall of Fame. Barry Blitt won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, “for his watercolor style and gentle caricatures of the personalities and policies that come from the Trump White House”.
The Zambonis - Concert on the Lawn
Saturday, July 1st
3pm
The New Yorker : “The Zambonis may sound like a simple novelty act, but it scores repeatedly with a bunch of snappy little power-pop songs. Even if you wouldn’t know what a slapshot was if it hit you in the face, you’ll cheer.”
The Village Voice: “Like a beach party on ice!”
This one is going to be a blast!
We’re so excited to welcome The Zambonis to our library lawn.
Bring a blanket or chair and a picnic and enjoy this one-of-a-kind high energy show!
The Zambonis are the greatest and only all hockey rock band in the world. Since 1992, nothing but songs about hockey, love, life, and hockey.
