Sarah Eddy Lecture Tonight at Portsmouth Free Public Library

Portsmouth artist, Sarah Eddy, is the topic of an historic lecture tonight. Call the Library to sign up.

Sarah J. Eddy was a photographer, sculptor, artist, suffragette, founder of the RI Humane Education Society, and Portsmouth resident who lived from 1851 to 1945. Her social studio on Bristol Ferry Road was known for its performances, concerts and art lessons. Hear more about this fascinating but little-known resident from Gloria Schmidt and Marge Webster from the Portsmouth Historical Society.

This program is free and open to the public. Seating is limited so please stop by or call the Library at 683-9457 to sign up.
