The show is a collaborative effort between the Library and the Galveston Reads program. Galveston Reads is a community-wide book club that encourages unity through literature.

Critics' Picks
The striking quilt designs of The Judy Niemeyer Company are showcased at Galveston Historical Foundation’s U.S. Custom House, 2nd floor, 502 20th Street. This new collection can be viewed Monday - Friday from 9 am – 5 pm, closed holidays, through April 5.
“Judy Neimeyer had been a spare-time quilter, selling quilts since graduating from high school, and sewing while her own children were in school.” says guest curator Jenny Chiovaro. “In the early 90’s quilters began drawing shapes on paper, sewing fabric wrong-side up, then flipping the shape over and sewing another fabric on top, using the lines on the paper side as guides. They called it “foundation piecing” or “paper piecing” and Judy immediately saw how this modern method could produce a traditional look. She drew upon her drafting and engineering skills to draft very complex-looking patterns in manageable blocks that were easy to print, easy to sew, and easy to put together. The end result is striking—looking anything but easy.”

Critics' Picks
Galveston Arts Center is pleased to present an exhibition of recent work by Dallas-based artist Charlotte Smith titled dot, dot, dot. The exhibition will open during the January 28 ArtWalk and remain on view through February 26, 2012. Curator Clint Willour will lead a gallery talk with the artist beginning at 6:30 pm during ArtWalk. The event is free and open to the public.
Described as “trans-dimensional,” Charlotte Smith’s works are at once sculptural paintings and painted sculpture. Building multi-colored strata of paint, Smith variously flattens the paint blobs onto the surface of the canvas, creating colorful, confetti-like concentric circles. In other works, she attaches slender stacks of droplets to the canvas, evoking dangling stalactites or beaded strings. Finally, she abandons the substrate altogether, creating piles of paint blob ropes. While the influence of French Pointillist Georges Seurat is evident, Smith is much more interested in the manipulation of the material and repetitive mark making…

A proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie Plum's got plenty of attitude, even if she's been out of work for the last six months and just lost her car to a debt collector. Desperate for some fast cash, Stephanie turns to her last resort: convincing her sleazy cousin to give her a job at his bail bonding company as a recovery agent. True, she doesn't even own a pair of handcuffs and her weapon of choice is pepper spray, but that doesn't stop Stephanie from taking on Vinny's biggest bail-jumper: former vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli - yup, the same sexy, irresistible Joe Morelli who seduced and dumped her back in high school. Nabbing Morelli would be a satisfying payback - and a hefty payday - but as Stephanie learns the ins and outs of becoming a recovery agent from Ranger, a hunky colleague who is the best in the business, she also realizes the case against Morelli isn't airtight. Add to the mix her meddling family, a potentially homicidal boxer, witnesses who keep dying and the problem of all tho…

Critics' Picks
The striking quilt designs of The Judy Niemeyer Company are showcased at Galveston Historical Foundation’s U.S. Custom House, 2nd floor, 502 20th Street. This new collection can be viewed Monday - Friday from 9 am – 5 pm, closed holidays, through April 5.
“Judy Neimeyer had been a spare-time quilter, selling quilts since graduating from high school, and sewing while her own children were in school.” says guest curator Jenny Chiovaro. “In the early 90’s quilters began drawing shapes on paper, sewing fabric wrong-side up, then flipping the shape over and sewing another fabric on top, using the lines on the paper side as guides. They called it “foundation piecing” or “paper piecing” and Judy immediately saw how this modern method could produce a traditional look. She drew upon her drafting and engineering skills to draft very complex-looking patterns in manageable blocks that were easy to print, easy to sew, and easy to put together. The end result is striking—looking anything but easy.”

Critics' Picks
Galveston Arts Center is pleased to present an exhibition of recent work by Dallas-based artist Charlotte Smith titled dot, dot, dot. The exhibition will open during the January 28 ArtWalk and remain on view through February 26, 2012. Curator Clint Willour will lead a gallery talk with the artist beginning at 6:30 pm during ArtWalk. The event is free and open to the public.
Described as “trans-dimensional,” Charlotte Smith’s works are at once sculptural paintings and painted sculpture. Building multi-colored strata of paint, Smith variously flattens the paint blobs onto the surface of the canvas, creating colorful, confetti-like concentric circles. In other works, she attaches slender stacks of droplets to the canvas, evoking dangling stalactites or beaded strings. Finally, she abandons the substrate altogether, creating piles of paint blob ropes. While the influence of French Pointillist Georges Seurat is evident, Smith is much more interested in the manipulation of the material and repetitive mark making…

A proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie Plum's got plenty of attitude, even if she's been out of work for the last six months and just lost her car to a debt collector. Desperate for some fast cash, Stephanie turns to her last resort: convincing her sleazy cousin to give her a job at his bail bonding company as a recovery agent. True, she doesn't even own a pair of handcuffs and her weapon of choice is pepper spray, but that doesn't stop Stephanie from taking on Vinny's biggest bail-jumper: former vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli - yup, the same sexy, irresistible Joe Morelli who seduced and dumped her back in high school. Nabbing Morelli would be a satisfying payback - and a hefty payday - but as Stephanie learns the ins and outs of becoming a recovery agent from Ranger, a hunky colleague who is the best in the business, she also realizes the case against Morelli isn't airtight. Add to the mix her meddling family, a potentially homicidal boxer, witnesses who keep dying and the problem of all tho…

“Judy Neimeyer had been a spare-time quilter, selling quilts since graduating from high school, and sewing while her own children were in school.” says guest curator Jenny Chiovaro. “In the early 90’s quilters began drawing shapes on paper, sewing fabric wrong-side up, then flipping the shape over and sewing another fabric on top, using the lines on the paper side as guides. They called it “foundation piecing” or “paper piecing” and Judy immediately saw how this modern method could produce a traditional look. She drew upon her drafting and engineering skills to draft very complex-looking patterns in manageable blocks that were easy to print, easy to sew, and easy to put together. The end result is striking—looking anything but easy.”

Curator Clint Willour will lead a gallery talk with the artist beginning at 6:30 pm during ArtWalk. The event is free and open to the public.
Described as “trans-dimensional,” Charlotte Smith’s works are at once sculptural paintings and painted sculpture. Building multi-colored strata of paint, Smith variously flattens the paint blobs onto the surface of the canvas, creating colorful, confetti-like concentric circles. In other works, she attaches slender stacks of droplets to the canvas, evoking dangling stalactites or beaded strings. Finally, she abandons the substrate altogether, creating piles of paint blob ropes. While the influence of French Pointillist Georges Seurat is evident, Smith is much more interested in the manipulation of the material and repetitive mark making…
