January 24th, 2017 6:00 pm.— 7:30 pm., refreshments served, Artists have historically been enthusiastic book lovers and readers and this remains true today. This exhibition is filled with artwork where artists celebrate the concept of the book, using it sometimes in a traditional form and other times as a symbol or inspiration. The artist’s ideas might be based on personal story, a literary association, history, politics, humor, grieving, healing, a journey of discovery or an expression of love. Many pieces in this exhibition take extra time to explore; they may have meanings that are not immediately obvious. Viewers are encouraged to take a few extra minutes in coming weeks to discover and enjoy the 80 works of book-related art by 37 artists that are here on display at BOTH the Faneuil and Brighton Libraries. Sponsored by the Friends of the Faneuil Library and Friends of the Brighton Library.
