Come meet our March artist and hear a short talk and view a piece of performance art.
Artist Statement: My photos reach for the other dimensions that are all around us, but not visible to the human eye. There's always greater complexity in the world than we realize. Often in our day to day lives this is irrelevant or unobtainable, at least for now. My photos try to show what we may one day be able to see or at least, take the viewer out of their present reality and show them a different side.
We are excited to partner with the American Red Cross on March 19th to launch the first of what we hope will be many blood drives here at the library. We’ll be working together to give back to the community in a truly life changing way since each donation we collect can save up to three lives.
