Community Art Project
Help us make some art for our new space! We invite you to donate a small object that we will add to an assemblage art installation for display on the second floor. We’d love anything that you are inspired to bring — perhaps something that reminds you of the library! Objects should be less than 10 inches in any direction. Plastic, metal, wood, etc. are preferred over fabric or paper. Your object may not be recognizable in the completed artwork. Objects will not be returned to you.
