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!
Current Artist: Maureen Grandmont
August 2025 – “Beatles Photomania” Showcase
The images in this exhibit are culled from a collection of over 30,000 that were taken over the past 17 years, since Maureen began the craft of photography in her retirement years. Needless to say, the images came first and the titles followed.
To tie these images together, Maureen has chosen songs by The Beatles to accompany each photograph. Some titles are spot on while some make the viewer think a bit more. In the end, she used her artistic sense or viewpoint to label each one.
The artist hopes that you enjoy guessing which image best matches the particular song. The photos will be labeled after Monday, August 18. Anyone who gets the matches 100% correct will be entered into a drawing to win a free 5”x7” photograph!
Maureen hopes that you have fun and can “see what she sees.” In any event, she guarantees that you will leave the library humming a tune from The Beatles.
Maureen’s art will be on display in the front lobby for the month of August, with prints available for purchase. A portion of proceeds benefit the library.
About Maureen:
The Artist’s Journey into Photography
Maureen has spent a lifetime exploring one art activity or another in search of the perfect fit, ever seeking one more art form to quench her artistic thirst. Imagine her delight when she ventured into the world of photography and this art became both fun and rewarding for her.
As a juried member of the Cape Cod Art Association and a Master Level photographer in the CCAA Camera Club, her photographs have been recognized for their creativity and quality in competitions and exhibits.
Taking images has become her way of connecting with the viewer on a soulful level. If this image speaks to you by stirring memory, by creating a sense of wonder, or just by putting a smile on your face, then she has done her part in capturing a moment in time or telling a story.
