“Art for Books II” Celebrates Children’s Literacy Programs
Prize-winning Titusville area artists will join the Friends of the Titusville Library and the Dick-Doc Duo on Sunday, December 6, 2009 to raise money for the Friends’ children’s literacy programs. “Art for Books II” will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Titusville Public Library, 2121 S.Hopkins Avenue in Titusville. The indoor event is free to Friends of Titusville Public Library ($5 memberships will be available at the door, and earlier at Titusville Public Library). Refreshments will be served.
Award-winning local artists will display their work while guests enjoy elegant desserts and live music by violinist Marshall Frank and pianist Jay Barnhart. Artwork will be available for sale in all price ranges, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the children’s literacy programs at the Library.
The Dick-Doc Duo is a highly entertaining collaboration between Frank, a homicide detective, and Barnhart, a medical examiner. The two transitioned together in retirement from murder in Miami to music in Brevard County. Their eclectic repertoire includes gypsy, tango, Broadway, movie themes, ethnic and classical music.
“Our children’s programs are even more important as parents struggle in this economy,” says Library Director Pamela Boddy. “The Friends of the Library make it possible to continue to offer high-quality reading programs for our children at no charge.”
Long-time FOTL board member Sara Ann Conkling is thrilled that the first “Art for Books” event was so successful that the community immediately requested a repeat for the holiday season. “Hundreds of people enjoyed our last event and were able to bring home some beautiful, affordable art, while helping our children continue to improve their reading skills,” reports Conkling. “This year’s event will be even more special as we add the panache of the Dick-Doc duo, and a silent auction of high-quality donations from our participating artists.” Conkling is chairing the event with Joe Dunn, FOTL Vice-President who is himself a Titusville artist.
