We welcome artists of all mediums to share their craft with the community while activating library spaces for personal projects. Selected artists will be featured at the library, host public programs for all ages, have scheduled time for personal projects in library studios, performance spaces, quiet focus rooms and/or the Center for Innovation while receiving a stipend. Through this program, the library welcomes artists to share their craft with the community while activating these spaces for personal projects.
