COFFEE anyone?
Are you a borrower or a buyer? Of books, I mean? If you haven’t been to your local library recently, be sure to stop by. Many libraries are re-inventing themselves to look much like big box book stores complete with vendors of coffee & pastries. They often also lend music, movies and even art. This next Call comes from a library with a full-fledged art gallery adjacent. This is for 3-d work only…

Sabatini Gallery (located within a public library). Despite its location, this is a fairly traditional gallery space & the juror’s work is masterful. Take a look…
