Local artist Barbara Coffin, left, discusses one of her paintings with a visitor during the well-attended opening reception on November 1 for her month-long exhibit in the Gallery at Kent Memorial Library, the first exhibit since the library reopened. She had agreed that all sale proceeds from the exhibit would go to support the Village, in Hartford (formerly the Village for Children and Families). By mid-month, over $8,000 had been realized from the sale.
