The Pope Memorial Humane Society in Thomaston is pleased to announce that the second exhibition of art work is now being displayed in the lobby of the PMHS. The current show features the brilliant and whimsical work of artist Gil Coyle, and will be on display until the mid-August.

Coyle holds teaching and arts degrees from Denver University, and has attended classes at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, New York University, and the Arts Student League of New York. Her award-winning work is included in the permanent collection of the Farnsworth Art Museum, as well as in many private and corporate collections in the United States and abroad.

Visitors to the Pope Memorial Humane Society are encouraged to enjoy the current exhibition and future shows in the Art Wall space in the lobby. A portion of the proceeds from any art sold will be donated to support the work of the shelter. If you would like to inquire about having a showing of your work, please leave your name and contact information with a staff member and a representative of PMHS will be in touch with you.
