Tiny Art Show at the Montgomery Branch

About Blog Post Aug 16, 2022 by SCLSNJ
Last month, the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey's (SCLSNJ) Montgomery branch asked residents, "What does community mean to you?" Residents, ages 4 through adult, were then provided tiny art canvases and the encouragement to use any arts medium to answer this question.
"The Tiny Art Show offered the Montgomery staff a clean canvas from which to get to know our community anew," said Manny Miracle, adult services department supervisor. "It sparked conversation between our staff and customers of all ages as well as many conversations around the dinner table. Diversity, open space, helping hands, and open hearts were shared in multiple vibrant canvases." Continued Miracle, "The Tiny Art Show is both reflective and aspirational in that not only does the art showcase what our wonderfully diverse and creative community looks like but how our community wishes to see itself moving forward."
The canvases will remain on display through August 31, 2022. The Montgomery branch is located at 100 Community Drive in Skillman. To learn more, call (908) 458-8430 or email montgomery@sclibnj.org.
