Artist of the Month
Every month, the library highlights a local artist by displaying their work, offering sales, and hosting a reception. Interested in exhibiting art at the library? Please consider coming to the library to see the exhibit space in the Irene E. Boardman Community Room.
Please make arrangements no later than one month before your art exhibit is to start as to what day and time you will be bringing your art in and what day you will be taking down your exhibit.
We are happy to offer our space if you would like to host an Artist Reception.
The community room is a multi purpose room and serves many uses for the community. The community room is open during Library hours for patrons to come and view your artwork during times that the room is not in specific use.
Please stop by, call or email the library if you would like to exhibit art at the Prospect Public Library. We'd love to host you.

Artist Statement
Having been a self-taught artist over the last 50 years, Maureen has pursued a diversified approach to trying various media. She is most known for her watercolor holiday/seasonal window illustrations of local storefronts, such as Brooklyn Bakery, Frankies on Reidville, Eagle View Deli, and the Prospect Library.
After retiring two years ago from St. Mary’s Hospital and VA West Haven Hospital as a Registered Sleep Technologist, she is now able to fully dedicate her time to art.
Some eclectic projects have entailed several customized cornhole sets, murals, portraits, wood carvings, face painting, and posters.
