Art Sale & Library Benefit
The Art of Ann Jones: Through July 27th
Southwest Harbor: From Friday, July 12th to Saturday, July 27th, the Southwest Harbor Public Library will host a show and library benefit “The Art of Ann Jones,” a collection of over 30 pieces by multimedia artist Ann Jones. All proceeds from the sale of artwork will benefit the library. Pieces include oil and acrylic paintings and several of her series including found items sculptures, and multimedia collages. All artwork was generously donated for the benefit by Ann’s family.
A native of Westport, Connecticut, Ann Jones (Schwartz) painted scenes of Mount Desert Island after her arrival in 1978. A resident of Bernard for many years, she was well known for her large sweeping landscapes of the island, her series created out of isolated interests including discarded pails, pots, and enamelware, and island gardens. Ann had galleries in Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and in Bernard until her death in 2022.
