Building Artistic Community at MAXT
You Can Make It Here: Building Artistic Community at MAXT will be on view Friday December 5 through Wednesday, December 31 at Peterborough Town Library.
This exhibition features work from a diverse range of artists and makers, who were able to learn, create and grow at the makerspace, an organization committed to making arts and technology available to everyone in our Monadnock community. Step into a world of creativity and view works in a wide range of media from textiles to glass, printmaking to animation - all created during MAXT programs.
An Opening Reception will be held on First Friday, December 5 from 5–7pm, with representatives from MAXT and some of the exhibiting artists in attendance to meet visitors and answer questions about their work and the Makerspace.
This exhibition features young makers in the community. With works from the Mini Makers program for elementary aged children, through Junior Creatives for middle aged students. MAXT is also proud to show some of the work from their Young Creatives, a bright group of artists breaking out on their own through MAXT’s high school aged program.
The exhibit will also highlight works made by those with differing abilities through a program with Monadnock Worksource. “We are excited to show some of this joy filled work from this section of our community who thrive on access to the arts,” says Program & Outreach Librarian, Rebecca Enman.
Finally, attendees from MAXT's adult programs have volunteered a small selection of their work for display. These are all pieces created by first time artists in their media and are presented as a celebration of lifelong learning.
MAXT hopes to inspire you to create, experiment, and learn and maybe even come and make with us. Whoever you are - You Can Make It Here.
The PTL Community Art Gallery is a regional public art space which provides exhibition opportunities for students, emerging artists, and the community. We work to create positive experiences that promote learning and growth for artists, and develop meaningful connections between the artist and the community.
Peterborough Town Library, located downtown at the corner of Main and Concord/Rt 202, has a large meeting room, study rooms, classroom, and a board room available to the public.
