September - October Gallery Exhibits Announced by Smyrna Library

Abstract Paintings and Porcelain Art Will Be on Display

SMYRNA, GA (August 21, 2007) - The Friends of Smyrna Library has announced that the Smyrna Library Display Galleries will feature the artwork of Su Daitch in the art gallery and porcelain artwork from the Magnolia Porcelain Art Guild of Cobb County in the display cases. The exhibits are appearing in September and October and will be on display daily during regular library operating hours. The galleries are located on the second floor of the Smyrna Library at 100 Village Green Circle in the Smyrna Village. For more information please visit friendsofsmyrnalibrary.org.

"Su Daitch is a self taught artist and her techniques and styles incorporate vivid colors and unique patterns into paintings that add life to the surroundings where they are displayed," stated Dorothy Sibert, coordinator of the Smyrna Library Galleries. "Su does a number of things to bring the world of art to others including offering classes for people with no art experience who are looking to give it a try. She will also paint abstracts on site at dinner and office parties."

The Magnolia Porcelain Art Guild is part of the World Organization of China Painters, an organization that focuses on educating and encouraging artists, connoisseurs and patrons of the fine art of porcelain painting and decoration. The organization also promotes the art through the teaching and exhibiting of hand painted porcelain. The Magnolia Porcelain Art Guild is located in Cobb County and meets monthly at the West Cobb Senior Center at Lost Mountain Park in Powder Springs.

The Smyrna Library Galleries, which are managed by the Friends of Smyrna Library, are showcases for the works of local artists, craftspeople and collectors who have something unique to share with the larger community. The Friends of Smyrna Library organization is continuously seeking thought-provoking and visually appealing exhibits to feature in the gallery.
