The Library is pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Book+Art exhibit as part of Milligan College’s 2014 Homecoming festivities (October 24-25). We are calling on all Milligan book lovers and artists to participate!
Submissions are invited from students, faculty, staff, and their family members. The exhibit challenges you to re-imagine books as both the inspiration and the medium for your art. There are no other limits. The Library will provide free discarded books on a cart located in the Welshimer Room (on the Main Floor) for you to use as raw material, or you can find your own books from used bookstores and second-hand shops.
Need ideas? Just do a Google Image search for “Book Art.” One up-and-coming book sculptor is Kelly Campbell Berry, who graciously provided the photo of one of her book sculptures for our poster above. Kelly has some amazing pieces on her online gallery. You can also see our write-up from last year’s exhibit.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, October 24 at 1:00 PM. Please include your name and the title of your piece. (More than one submission per artist is acceptable.) The exhibit will continue through Homecoming weekend and into the following week. The Library will hold a drawing, and one lucky artist will win a $25 Amazon gift card.
