“Landmark Illuminations,” an extraordinary exhibition of the unique character and special beauties of Holyoke Public Library at its most impressive, will have its official opening on Friday March 30 from 6:00 to 10:00 PM at Mill 1 at Open Square. This exciting cultural and social event features the work of prominent local photographer Jeffrey Byrnes, who has captured the essence of our beloved historic library building on the cusp of its transformation. Mr. Byrnes has generously offered to make some of these iconic images available for sale to benefit the Library Capital Fund Campaign. A number of additional works will also be available to be sold at auction.

Holyoke Mayor, Alex B. Morse has commented that “This gallery opening will be a chance for everyone to see, and potentially own, an example of Jeffrey’s impressive work and to join together to benefit the Library. This is certain to be a highlight of this year’s social calendar.”

The program for the evening begins with a preview of the exhibition from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, during which hors d’ouevres, catered by Slice Café, will be served and a cash bar will be available. The auction, including several limited edition works, will start at 8:00 and continue until 9:30 PM. The exhibit will remain open until 10:00 PM. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Holyoke Public Library’s temporary location at City Hall. Tickets are $20 each and purchase automatically enters the purchaser in a drawing to win a print by Jeffrey Byrnes.

Muse Framing donated the matting and backing for all of the photographs included in the exhibition and Jeffery Byrnes is donating all of his time, work and profits to the Library Capital Campaign.
