The Exhibition from “Versmes” Progymnasium, Klaipėda, Lithuania completed its travel in New Hampshire, from May 2019 to December 2020.

Here are some reflections from its Guest Book:

October -December 2020

Richmond Public Library in Richmond, New Hampshire welcomes the exhibition from Lithuania

“Surprise! Usually the interlibrary loan van brings books and DVD’s, but this week it brought a traveling exhibition of art from students in Lithuania. We had expected to host this collection in August, but the paintings got lost in the COVID-19 shutdown. Come and see the visions of peace as imagined by teens in post-Soviet countries. We’ll have it up through the end of October, and perhaps again in December. Don’t miss it!” from Richmond Public Library Facebook Page

February 2020

Gorham Public Library in Gorham, New Hampshire welcomes the exhibition from Lithuania

“It is lovely and has already received many comments from our patrons! Thank you!” Shannon Buteau, Director, Gorham Public Library

“For the month of February Gorham Public Library will be displaying art created by young artists in Lithuania. Thank you to the Fermata Arts Foundation for loaning these items for us to display!” from the Gorham Public Library Facebook Page

Thanks again for making this collection available.”
