Masai Warrior Sculptures on Display at Montclair Public Library

MONTCLAIR, NJ — The following news release comes courtesy of the Montclair Public Library. Learn more about posting announcements or events to your local Patch site here.

The Montclair Public Library’s photography and art exhibits series continues with "Masai Warriors," a collaboration between Linda Hartman, an art sculpture teacher at Glen Rock High School, and her 9-12 grade students. The exhibit will be on view in the Montclair Public Library glass cases on the first floor, 50 South Fullerton Avenue, during library hours from January 2 through January 30, 2018.

Hartman is a resident of Montclair and a media specialist at Glen Rock High School. Her inspiration for the project was a trip Hartman took to Tanzania and a day and night she spent at a Masai village. As a guest in their village, she observed a typical day, attended a kindergarten-level class and talked with them about the Masai life and culture.

Hartman initiated a collaboration with the sculpture teacher and her class of students from grades 9-12 at her high school. She gave a presentation to the class, showing her photos and videos.

The library welcomes inquiries from local artists and arts organizations regarding use of the exhibit space. For more information, contact the Montclair Public Library (973) 744-0500 ext. 2221.
