Since 2011, the Hunt Library ArtWall has showcased local professional and emerging artists living in the Northwest Connecticut community and throughout the Tri-state area, from Boston to New York City.
The ArtWall provides important income for both the Hunt Library and the exhibiting artists. A purchase of art is a gift to both.

PIETER LEFFERTS:
WHAT THE KEK KEK SAW
RECEPTION: SAT APRIL 8, 4-6PM
EARTH DAY BOOK READING: SAT APRIL 22, 2PM
In April, the David M. Hunt Library in Falls Village, Connecticut will welcome back artist and author Pieter Lefferts, who inaugurated the library’s ArtWall exhibit space in 2011. Lefferts’ new exhibition features pastel paintings inspired by his recent book, “What the Kek Kek Saw,” an animist fable of braided plot twists that grew out of Lefferts’ many years of immersion in the Adirondack Forest. The paintings bring to life the imaginary forest realm of Borea and of the protagonists, Aramook, a raccoon passionate in his beliefs, and Rana Kek Kek, an intrepid amphibian.
Opening with a reception for the artist on Saturday, April 8 from 4PM to 6PM, there will also be a reading from the book by Lefferts on Earth Day, Saturday April 22 at 2PM. Copies of the book, “What the Kek Kek Saw,” will be available for purchase. The exhibition will remain on display through Friday, April 28.
