Come to a reception for the exhibit “Take Heart,” a non-traditional love story told through a series of images captured during the pandemic by artists Rachael Sokolowski and Suz Karchmer. These evocative works, on display in January and February in Snow Library’s Craine Gallery, invite us to embrace the enduring spirit of compassion and hope, inspiring us to carry that spirit forward as we navigate an uncertain future. The reception features an artist talk that will take place starting at noon.

An exhibit of photography by Doug Fraser is on display in the Craine Gallery through December 2025, featuring closeups of flowers found in Fraser’s wife’s garden as well as wild and cultivated flowers found along the streets of East Orleans. A resident of East Orleans, Fraser was a journalist for 30 years, including 25 years as an environmental reporter at the Cape Cod Times. This is his first photo exhibition. He took the advice of a photographer friend who said to “always fill the frame.” A reception takes place from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13.

 Brewster-based artist Julie Brooks' abstract mosaics and works in encaustic, patinated and rusted metal, acrylic, and oil are on exhibit in Snow Library's Craine Gallery through November. Her work is rooted in geology, biology and astronomy, "not to explain but to observe, to celebrate, to excavate," she writes in her artist statement. Primarily self-taught, she has studied with leading artists in encaustic, ceramics, painting, cyanotype, cold wax oil painting and metal clay at institutions including the Cape Cod Museum of Art, Truro Center for the Arts and the Cultural Center of Cape Cod.
