Happy 200th Birthday Abraham Lincoln!!! I hope everyone is celebrating our 16th President's Birthday somehow. I would like some cake, myself. Baldwin School celebrated, with the help of the Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, with some cake; and I wish I had taken the time to stop by for the celebration (for the cake!)
The Quincy Public Library celebrated by going about it's job of checking out library materials to our patrons. (Not really celebrating as we should.)
We had a very nice video lecture on depression era American Art led by Carol Nichols. This is the sixth installment of our American Visions video lecture series, and it has been well attended so far. We have had at least 20 people attend each week on Thursdays at 1:00pm since January 8, 2009. I think that is quite an accomplishment! Good job everybody for attending! We had received a grant from the Quincy Society of Fine Arts, and we wanted to make sure it was worth people's time to attend.
Our next program at the library is about Native Americans and their art on Wednesday, February 18 at 6:00pm. Steve Tieken, president and founder of the North American Archaeological Institute based in Quincy, will be presenting Windows of the Spirit: Sacred Meaning in Native American Art. I hope we see you there!
