Community ArtShare

T. B. Scott Library’s Community ArtShare program originated in 2006 with a $10,000 grant from the Mead Witter Foundation, Inc. with which secure display cases, easels, and other items were procured that have enabled the library to become a place for local artists and collectors to display their creations and hobbies. Displays featuring one or more artists or collectors are featured each month on an ongoing basis.

Treasured Book Boxes

May 2023

T.B. Scott Free Library is pleased to present our Beyond Books: Community ArtShare Program entitled: Treasured Book Boxes, featuring artwork from the St. John School students in 5th and 6th grades. They were given wooden trinket boxes through a generous donation from the artist, Bill Pittman, to the T. B. Scott Library Youth Services to be used for an art related project. The students decorated the boxes to represent their favorite books. They chose scenes and book covers to paint in order to share the stories that mean the most to them. The exhibit runs the month of May only and is located on the 2nd floor of the library in the Carnegie Wing.
