Virtual Exhibits
Monday 11 May 9:00am to Sunday 17 May 11:55pmBell Gallery Collection Highlight: Llyn FoulkesEach week, the David Winton Bell Gallery will hold an online mini-exhibition by delving into a piece from its collection. This week’s event features Llyn Foulke’s 1973 mixed media piece “To Paul.” A mysterious, faceless figure smeared with blood is depicted at bust length in a suit, presented against a pale blue ground. Only the forehead, ear, chin, neck, partial cheek, bottom lip and brows are visible — the eyes, nose and top lip are replaced with a sepia-hued photograph of a pair of legs moving on tiptoe, as if in the middle of a dance step.Learn more

PCL staff have proven themselves to be resilient and flexible as they have come up with innovative ways to support library users.

A wonderful read! |

To date they have manufactured thousands of 3D-printed faceshields for front line health workers in Rhode Island. Read the full story. |
