In conjunction with our Annual Student Art Exhibition: Adventures in Mexico, the Library presents a Frida Kahlo Scavenger Hunt for families. Learn more about Frida as you search for her images and answer questions about her. And of course there will be a prize for those who complete the hunt! Come anytime the library is open June 4th – June 18th.
Annual Student Art Show: Adventures in Mexico
For the month of June, the Library will present its Annual Student Art Exhibition: Adventures in Mexico. An Artists’ Reception will be held on Sunday, June 2nd, from 3:00 – 4:00 pm. All are welcome. Throughout the year, the Library offers free art classes focusing on a variety of materials and techniques to students in grades 1 – 8 taught by Alexis Starke. This year, the focus is on Mexico and Fridamania has hit the Library! Ask any of our young artists about all things Frida and you are sure to be impressed. Projects are inspired by Frida Kahlo and the less well-known volcano-loving Mexican artist, Dr. Atl, as well as traditional Mexican crafts. Patrons are always delighted to see the creations of our youngest artists.

Flashback Fridays Concert Series: Forever Ray
Friday, April 5th, 7:00 – 8: 00 PM
Forever Ray is a 10-piece band from the New York metropolitan area which is fronted by Shulton Whitley and led by musical director and drummer Bobby Deitch. They perform the exciting and uplifting music of Ray Charles, which includes a wonderful blend of musical styles that range from Jazz and Blues, to Country and R&B.
One band member, Angela Workman, worked with Mr. Charles. She was an original Raylette, one of his backup singers, for 11 years. The band has played gigs at Lincoln Center and BB King’s Blues Club in New York. The show is not merely a straight concert. Mr. Dietch notes, “We do our best to give a little bit of history of the songs and of Ray. We’ll give the audience a sense of what Ray was all about. We don’t just go right into the song after song.”
This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by ArtsWestchester.
