The first artist featured at the Main Branch will be Garry Moore of Statesville. In his moving exhibit, �Memories: Portraits by Garry Moore,� the artist uses his natural gift for capturing the true spirit of his subjects to tell meaningful life stories.

The public is invited to attend an Art After Hours reception in Moore�s honor on Friday, March 18th from 6pm � 7:30pm at the Alexander County Library�s Main Branch, which is located at 77 First Avenue SW in Taylorsville.

In addition to deeply personal portraits of family members and friends, Moore�s exhibit features works commissioned by neighbors, Alexander County residents, and art lovers throughout the region. The exhibit showcases Moore�s skills in pencil, pastel, and air brush techniques.
