Longboat Key Town Hall got some new, vibrant additions on March 21.
The annual artists’ reception celebrated the hanging of new artwork by eight local artists. Every few months, the artwork hanging on the hall’s walls change to display local artists’ work. Until the end of May, artwork by JoAnne Curtain, Renee DiNapoli, Barbara Jendrysik, Mary Lou Johnson, Bob Parrish and Mariarosa and Roger Rockefeller. Four photographs by former Longboat Key Mayor Ron Johnson, who died in June, were hung for the reception.
This exhibit marks the 62nd since its inception. In total, the exhibits featured artwork from more than 105 locals. During the reception, assistant to the town manager, Susan Phillips, introduced each of the artists. She mentioned how much talent they bring to the Key, even if they aren’t considered professionals.
“They’re just your neighbors who have amazing talent,” she said.
