“Fractured Mantra,” by Amy Handy, is one of the works in “Artistic Meanderings,” an exhibit that opens this week at the Merrill Memorial Library. The show, by members of Artisans Collective, includes paintings, encaustic works, photographs, ceramics and floor cloths. The collective has fewer than a dozen members and no permanent space, but exhibits throughout the area. “Meanderings” continues to meander until Sept. 12 at the library, 215 Main St., Yarmouth.
