A coincidence? Or maybe just a July 4 reminder of the freedoms we enjoy

I didn't realize until I put the wine bottle down on the patio table on the Fourth of July that the label featured a picture of the Liberty Bell. How timely!

What are the chances?

Artist to exhibit work, host workshop at Plumb Memorial Library in Shelton

Pop artist Michael Albert 

SHELTON - Plumb Memorial Library will host an exhibition of the works of American pop artist Michael Albert through August.
Albert’s art has evolved from doodles with pen and ink, colored pencils, and magic markers, to serious wax oil drawings, to the cubist mosaic cereal box collages for which he has become known.

Albert is the author and subject of an autobiography, An Artist’s America
The display at Plumb includes a selection of 16 of his limited-edition prints featuring art created over the past 25 years, and is the only exhibit of his works in Connecticut this summer.
Albert has also developed a traveling art enrichment program he calls the “Modern Pop Art Experience” where he talks about his art and runs hands-on collage workshops for people of all ages. 
He brings his workshop to Plumb Memorial Library, 65 Wooster St., from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Aug. 17.
Please call 203-924-1580 for more information.
