Books As Art

Local artists have taken a discarded volume of an old encyclopedia and transformed it into a site specific work of art. Wander around the lobby and the Info Room to see them in person through the end of April!

Industrial Revolution by John J Reardon. Bursting from out of the encyclopedia are wires, barbed wire, metal poles and other scrap, and a lit-up lamp.

See More Art!

The Wonders of a Story by Tiffany Incorvaia. A dark unicorn with a curly main of paper rears out of a black archway. Beyond the archway lies a dark red world with light pink clouds. And Scattered around the archway are 4- and 8-limbed stars in various sizes.
