Newmarket Public Library

The Bowman Collection was made possible by a donation by Newmarket residents Dorothy and Jim Bowman and daughter Carol.The collection includes four sculptures, forty-eight paintings and numerous books. The art works have been integrated throughout the library, giving staff and library patrons immediate access to the rich and varied expression. Plaques crediting the artist are mounted beside each work. In 2009-10, the collection was photographed and artist profiles created through the Shared Digital Infrastructure Project.
