In Hesperia, 11 local artists volunteered their time and talents to illustrate the story of “The Night Before Christmas.” The artists include Julie Homan Aitken, Natalie Aue, Olivia Erlewein, Joe Frendo, Monica Grimard, Thom LaCount, Eric Michaels, Olivia Prado, Sher Scissons, Olivia VanAvery and Renae Wallace. On display at the Hesperia Community Library, located at 80 S. Division St., is a wonderful collection of original art in a variety of styles and mediums. One can see works created in glass mosaic, fabric, watercolor, acrylics, Prismacolor, oils, graphite pencil, wood carving and needlework.
The public will have an opportunity to bid on the artwork in a silent auction. The bidding began Monday, Dec. 16 and end will end Jan. 4 at 3 p.m.
This public art exhibit is open during regular library hours and is a project of Hesperia Beautification. It was funded by a grant from the Great Lakes Energy People Fund.
