Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library
.
This week, I had my Artist Date at the main branch of the my local library system…the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library.
A library is a great place for an Artist Date.
Finally, the sun made an appearance, so everything looked bright and beautiful.
The Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library is a great space.
Lots of windows and open spaces. In the middle, a Perkins Windmill, that you can see from all levels.
Last year, I wrote a post about “my” library (Harris Branch)…the one closest to my house and the one I go to most often. A representative from the library contacted me and asked if they could mention my post on their Facebook page. I was honored. Then, I was put in contact with another representative who asked if I’d like to exhibit my art the Main Branch in the Spencer Gallery in 2013. I said, “YES!”
I am honored and delighted to exhibit my art for the first time in my local library…a place I value and have loved my whole life. So, for my Artist Date, I went to take a look at the Spencer Gallery.
The Spencer Gallery is a multi-purpose room and artwork is displayed on the side walls. A meeting was taking place in the room, so I didn’t take any pictures.
Another cool thing…I can hold a reception. I’m really looking forward to planning that and everyone’s invited! I’ll keep my pieces hush-hush until they go on display, but I’ll be sure to share the agony and ecstasy of the whole process.
Very exciting! The library is beautiful! When will your pieces go on display?
In September 2013. I’m very excited and a little nervous.
What a lovely place. Really like the water thingy inside.
that is such a cool library! And how neat that you’re having an exhibit there!
Congrats Lori!
That is such a beautiful building, love the wooden tree.

Congratulations! Well deserved. We think libraries are perfect in just about every way.
That is a beautiful library!
Wow – you are being exhibited? Congratulations! You must do a post when your pictures are up!
Wish we had a nice library!

Oooo! How exciting!!! I’ve said before how much I love a library 😀 It’s not uncommon for me to go to my local library at lunch time and just hang out and try to regroup. It used to be within walking distance, but moved…it’s still close, just a five minute drive. It’s a small one, but they do a good job and also display local artists’ works. I love checking them out. Congrats! I look forward to hearing more about your display.
What a great space, I can’t wait to hear about your display.
Gee we have never seen such a cool library! The only ones we have seen are kind of depressing looking.
Licks,

You’re getting famous! It’s so gratifying when someone recognises your work and it’s something you’re passionate about. Way to go Lori! x
