A reception honoring Nan Rogers for her work with the Belmont Gallery of Art will take place at the Belmont Gallery of Art on Saturday, June 9, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. It will be an opportunity for the town's artists and art lovers to thank Rogers for her tireless effort in not simply running the town's art gallery located on the third floor of the Homer Building in the Town Hall complex, but in her almost single-handed promotion of art and those who create it for nearly a decade. While Saturday will be an opportunity to say good bye to Rogers as an administrator, it will be an chance for the arts community to say hello to new gallery administrator, Juliana Rozeboom.
