At the Rudy Gelnett Memorial Library in downtown Selinsgrove, there are two events in October that are super fun and involve the entirety of the community.
The Gelnett Art Expo
Currently, The Gelnett Art Expo is in full swing. It began on October 15th and runs until November 2nd. It is an art exhibition with three categories: Painting, Drawing and, Mixed Media. There are 50 works being shown at the library in total. The community is encouraged to come to the library and vote for their favorite works. The voting ballots are $5 and there is no limit to how frequently a person can vote. Voting is the most important part of this event because there will be a winner of each category and an overall Expo Grand Champion. A portion of the proceeds also goes to the library to ensure the continuation of these local art shows. On November 2nd, when the event comes to a close, there will be a reception from 2 pm to 5 pm with snacks and refreshments, followed by an awards ceremony. The voting period ends at 4:30 pm on November 2nd. Come out to vote and support local artists!
