Artist of the Month at CPL

As a center of community life, the Centerville Public Library encourages and supports civic, intellectual and cultural pursuits. The library invites local artists to display their work in the library front lobby for a one month showing.

Every month, patrons can visit the lobby in the front of the lobby and view a local artist’s exhibit. Some artists will have select pieces or prints available for purchase, and a portion of proceeds benefit the library.

Support CPL and local artists through this ongoing program!

Kelly has received a degree in fine arts, as well as a BFA in Illustration.

Kelly’s work has received several awards, as well as been shown and published locally, nationally, and internationally, including in Richeson75 International Art Competitions and as a finalist in the Artist Network’s The Best of Drawing: Strokes of Genius 13.
