The Canton Public Library welcomes artists from Hannibal’s Alliance Art Gallery for a group exhibit during the month of April. A Guest Artists Reception in their honor will be held on Thursday, April 4th from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the Canton Public Library.

The Library will host several of the Alliance Art artists. Guest artists may include Dennis Babbitt, primarily a landscape painter influenced by the Hudson River School; Patricia Garey, whose paintings often capture the beauty of the Mississippi River Valley from St. Paul, MN to New Orleans; Pat Kerns, whose paintings reflect her fascination with ordinary objects; Veronica Sandercock, a ceramicist who evokes a soft and floating quality in her pottery; Debra Scoggin-Myers, a former Culver-Stockton professor and past Guest Artist who specializes in art reflecting life in Northeast Missouri; Connie Stephens whose photography stimulates the imagination; Adriana Brown, who works primarily with acrylic and watercolor and is committed to making others feel seen, heard, and inspired through her artwork; and artist Elizabeth Brown.
