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.
Moon Lamps and More
April 2025
T. B. Scott Free Library presents, Beyond Books: Community ArtShare Exhibition: Moon Lamps and More. This exhibit is for the month of April only.
Youth Services Outreach collaborated with St. John Lutheran School’s art teacher, Rachael Waldburger. Moon lamps were provided by the library, and Mrs. Walburger provided the 8th grade art students with the prompt. Students painted the moon lamps 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. They also created self portraits to represent what they might look like if they were characters in their favorite books.
Visit the Carnegie Wing of the library to enjoy the creativity of these budding artists during the month of April.
