New! Art Exhibit

Gary Boehk Art Exhibit

The Falmouth Public Library will be displaying Gary Boehk's Art Exhibit through the end of November in the Adult Collections Room!  Gary is delighted to be showing these paintings at the library, it is the first time many of them have ever been seen.

 Gary Boehk is primarily a plein air and representational painter with decades of experience painting landscapes onsite in Cape Cod, Florida, and France.  However during his career Gary’s abstract painting has been an important tool for exploration into different approaches to painting.  The progression into abstract can be seen in Gary's representational works especially plein air in Provence, France where shapes are perceived as less defined.  Abstract painting is a focus on color, shape and the interaction on the canvas. It enlivens creativity and it brings playful feelings and directions into the paint. The process is guided by a more subtle playful voice that resides deeper in the awareness, a voice not constrained by the conventions of representational paintings. Gary would characterize his abstract painting style as Gestural or Action where the painting is and expression of motion and it works best when the paint on the canvas stays open or wet so that the interaction can be fluid until the painting is finished and dry.

New! Wellness Series

Therapeutic Qi Gong in November
The Falmouth Public Library is starting a new wellness series where we offer a new health and wellness monthly program.  We are kicking off this new initiative with a 4-part introduction to Therapeutic Qi Gong with Alexander Lancaster!  This free introduction will meet on Tuesdays, November 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd from 11am-12pm in the Hermann meeting room.  Registration is required and as each class will build on another, you must be able to attend all 4 classes.

Therapeutic Qi Gong consists of 36 repeated movements that target the muscles and joints of the body from head to toe. The movements are done slowly and gently and incorporate deep breathing to help you focus on yourself during this time, making this routine a meditative one in addition to its stretching, coordination and balance challenges.

No mat is needed, but comfortable clothing is. Socks are encouraged; shoes that are flat and not too supportive are ok; athletic sneakers, of course, are fine if you need them.

November Classical Concert

Joshua Peckins Violin Concert
We are thrilled to welcome award-winning concert violinist Joshua Peckins back for a concert on Saturday, November 5th from 3pm-4pm, in the Hermann Room!  His last appearance here was widely attended and loved.  Joshua will present a series of recitals, Bach’s Sonata Number 1 in G Minor, Toshio Hosokawa’s Extasas, Jessie Montgomery’s Rhapsody Number 2 and Paganini’s Caprice Number 24.  Registration is required as space is limited. 

This concert is part of the project "Music Speaks.”  The performance will include commentary about the composers and music. Joshua has been among the most active recitalists in New England, and he has presented solo recitals nationally and internationally in over 30 venues.
