Patriots Heart: American Story Quilts


January 5th - February 19th, 2026

This stirring exhibition from the Cambridge-based, art-
centered nonprofit Patriots Heart is titled Sacrifice: The Heart of the Military. It pays tribute to the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of United States military personnel across a century of service.


At the heart of the exhibit is the crafted quilt series, representing six major conflicts over the past 100 years. Through fabric, color, and texture, these story quilts offer a deeply personal and artistic lens into the lived experiences honoring veterans. Each piece invites viewers to reflect on the diverse aspects of military service.


Complementing the quilts are a series of art posters that feature historical photos, poetry, and contextual information to deepen engagement and inspire dialogue. 


There will not be a reception.

Elsie Goldstein, Acrylics


November 3rd - December 27th, 2025


Gallery Reception
Saturday, November 15th, 11am-1pm



The exhibit, “Life in Colors” by acrylic artist Elsie Goldstein, explores childlike faith in a series of figure paintings depicting children in everyday life and landscape paintings of New England that feed our souls with familiar settings.


Preferring to paint in acrylics, Ms. Goldstein's work reveals a colorful preference for realism that leaves a lasting impression on its audience.


An artist and an educator, Elsie is also known for the painting classes she leads at the Library.

The Great Ponds Gallery is located in the community meeting room of the Lakeville Public Library. The library is more than just books; it is a community meeting and
cultural center.

The Gallery Arts Committee is pleased to provide a venue for the exhibition of the original works of local and regional artists.

The Great Ponds Gallery welcomes artists of all levels of experience, working with all media. The gallery is able to display various sizes of framed or matted art and textiles, as well as small 3-dimensional artworks in acrylic wall-mounted cases.
