THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, May 2, 2025 Page 9 Malden Public Library features artwork of Joel and Martine Renfort J oel and Martine Renfort are freelance artists who produce art linked to the currents of surrealism, realism and abstract art. Their works explore themes of hope, happiness, childhood, nature, history and more. “When Painting Meets Poetry” is the theme of this exhibit. In addition to paintings, they enjoy transforming clothing, bottles, hats, bags and many other creations. Examples can be found in the glass display case inside the library. A reception for the artists will be held on Thursday, May 15, from 7-8 p.m., and everyone is welcome to attend. CHARTER | FROM PAGE 1 Crowe (Ward 1), O’Malley and Ari Taylor (Ward 5), also was in the midst of many meetings held for discussion of the particulars of this task. The detailed and multi-leveled collaboration between the various branches of city government, including the City Clerk’s Office, the Mayor’s Office and of course, the City Councillors, was superb, professional, efficient and ultimately, productive and successful. Special notice goes to City Council President O’Malley, who was vigilant until the end when it came to sorting out the myriad points of order – both municipally legislative and simply managerial – in shepherding this process toward Tuesday’s finish line. Our 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, once said, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” This remark is indeed a snapshot of what has taken place in Malden over much of the past decade as city charter reform has progressed slowly and has now become a reality. For the 2024-2025 Malden City Council, this historic achievement will certainly become a signature point of its legacy.
