A beautiful brand new library, donated by Debra and Dennis Scholl, available for artists and also for the whole community.
The collection includes over 1,500 personally collected art books including artist monographs and a diverse array of catalogues from international exhibitions spanning three decades.
“In addition to the books being an amazing resource for the community, they are a perfect fulcrum, attracting artists of all disciplines to find reprieve from their busy and hectic lives,” says with enthusiasm the Executive Director, Chana Sheldon.
“It is our desire to create an inspirational place for the community to come in, hang out, read, exchange ideas, think, and daydream. The books are here and available for anyone to access at any time we are open.”
ABOUT LOCUST PROJECTS
2013 marks the 15th anniversary of Locust Projects, a not-for-profit exhibition space founded by three Miami artists in order to provide contemporary visual artists the freedom to experiment with new ideas and methods without the limitations of conventional exhibition spaces. Artists are encouraged to create site-specific installations as an extension of their representative work, and Locust Projects offers them a vibrant Miami experience to develop their ideas. Locust Projects is committed to offering an approachable and inviting venue for the Miami and international art community to experience the work and meet the artists. Gallery hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10am-6pm.
Locust Projects’ exhibitions and programming are made possible with the support from: The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; Cowles Charitable Trust; Foundation for Contemporary Arts; Galt & Skye Mikesell; Hannibal Cox Jr. Foundation; John S. and James L. Knight Foundation; Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs, the Cultural Affairs Council, the Mayor, and the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners; Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority.
