But this evening in the town of Keene the fishing scene is front and center in a relatively new gallery space in the Keene Arts building on Route 73.


Malcolm MacDougall owns the Keene Arts building and what he has done with the space is amazing. He and his wife are here this evening as well and I get to hear how they literally hung the show and how they intend to use the space throughout the summer season. The fly fishing exihibit will be up through July 21 and will be followed by a Jamaican poster exhibit. Gallery hours are 5 to 7 on Wed., Fri. and Sat.
Malcolm encourages community use of the space and loves to see it filled. He is pleased that it has become something of a melting pot for the area. He tells me smilingly that on one movie night a gentleman told him that he had been living in the area fo 20 years and met people that night that he’d never knew lived here.

The movies will be shown primarily on Wednesdays., Fridays, and Saturdays, with Wednesdays featuring movies for the young.
