Current Exhibit

Nancy Nieves

"Beyond Abstraction"

Oct 16 - Dec 21/2007

Our current exhibit is up and showing through December 21, 2007. This is a great show with interactive work that is sure to amuse the viewer. Ms. Nieves' playful approach to her works on paper make this a very lively exhibit. Her pesonal thoughts on daily life and society give the viewer something to think about.

Nieves, a former Florida Atlantic Univeristy professor, is now teaching at Gaston College in North Carolina. Her experience is vast and body of work is impressive. This is a slight detour from her usually paintings. Her trade mark is inserting round pencil drawings into her vast paintings. This work on paper still offers those little jewles throughout. Her work has a feel of Miro, Dali and a slight latin flair which is very appealing for the viewer.

Be sure to stop by. The gallery is open during regular library hours.

Film Festival Cancelled

We are sorry to announce the first annual film festival for the John D. MacArthur Campus Library is cancelled. We did not get enough submissions to hold a festival. We greatly appreciate the time and effort from those of you who did enter.

Please note that we will take film/video submissions on a year round basis for exhibition in the library gallery. So if you just ran out of time or are inspired to create later on, send it to us anyhow. We may exhibit it.

Thanks and we may try again next year!!

Now showing

Kyle Trowbridge

"Ack, Ack, Ack"

8/18 - 10/19/2007

Kyle is exhibiting a series of 11 drawings (acrylic, ink and shellac on paper). His work focuses on children and teens in an attempt to explore the stereotypes of youth and the myths of adolescence.


He is a full time professor at the University of Miami and brings talent, experience and a unique view on life.


Be sure to stop by and see Kyle's work. It is a good chance for northern Palm Beach County to view the work of a well known Miami artist. You can see his work regularly at the Dorsch Gallery in the Wynwood Art District.
