Exhibition features new artist-designed library cards
Public invited to artists' reception
TEMPE, Ariz. - The city of Tempe will display its new artist-designed library cards during an exhibition from Feb. 1 through March 17 at the Tempe Public Library Second Floor Gallery, 3500 S. Rural Road. A free public reception for the artists will be from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Feb. 9 in the gallery.
Through the competitive process, the city of Tempe Public Art Program commissioned four Arizona artists to produce art which will be reproduced onto city of Tempe library cards. Designs for the cards highlight connections to the library and to the city's Tempe in Motion "bus, bike and walk" campaign.
The new cards will be available at Tempe's library circulation desks in the Spring.
Additionally, the exhibition will feature other works by the artists, who are b royalty, of Tempe; Jennifer Kiraly, of Fountain Hills; Mary Lucking, of Tucson; and Kate Timmerman, of Phoenix.
This public art project is supported by the city's Cultural Services Division, Community Services Department, Tempe Public Library and
Transportation Division.
