Alicia Melluzzo Art Exhibit, Through July 30, 2026
The Essex Library is pleased to host an exhibition of work by Alicia Melluzzo. Alicia is a Connecticut artist whose work is inspired by everyday interactions that exist in life, nature and in the relationships among color, shapes and light. Her work reflects an active playground, employing various mediums, textures, styles and scales in order to explore any given subject. Alicia’s exhibit will be on view through July 30, 2026 and most works are for sale with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the library. The exhibit is open for viewing during the Library’s regularly scheduled hours. (Image above provided by Essex Library: “Shore.”)
