GREENFIELD — The Greenfield Public Library and mental health and human services provider ServiceNet are hosting a community art display at the library from Saturday, April 6, through the end of May. This exhibit represents the inaugural community art display at the new Greenfield Public Library.

This exhibit will include a diverse collection of paintings, photography and other visual art, representing the unique perspectives and creativity of more than 20 artists—all of whom are members of the ServiceNet community. ServiceNet provides services to people living with mental health challenges, developmental delay or disability, brain injury, homelessness, substance use issues and other challenges.

A reception will be held on May 1 from 4 –7 p.m., welcoming the public to celebrate the transformative power of art in fostering connection and building community.

“We are excited to bring our show to the Greenfield Public Library,” said Amy Timmins, ServiceNet’s Vice President of Community Relations, “and to highlight the talent and creativity of artists throughout the agency. We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the library for hosting us as their first community art show.”
 
“Greenfield Public Library is pleased to launch its local artist exhibition program with this inaugural show,” said Greenfield Public Library Director Anna Bognolo. “We are delighted that the ServiceNet artists will be able to share their work with our community, and we hope that the show encourages other local artists to submit their own exhibition request to the library.”
