ART HOUSE
This summer, I launched a tiny library project in Annapolis, called Art House. It's a quirky take on the neighborhood lending library and is based on books and baubles exploring ART and CREATIVITY. Every few months a new theme and a new mini-exhibition will be presented. I'm so excited to share this project with the community -- it's something I've been wanting to do for a long time, as a gift for our street and for folks passing through.
During COVID lockdowns and home-schooling, these little libraries that dotted our community became supremely important to us. They helped us pass the time and provided much needed light-hearted connection -- a respite from the pandemic. I asked my friend Jeremy - a local sculptor and dear friend, if he would help me create a whimsical box that would delight and inspire. A place where unexpected joy might bubble up. He did just that! Thank you Jeremy- grateful for your kindness and talent!.
This collaboration is a bespoke experience, (not associated with the national lending library system). Along with books, creative games, and art kits, Art House Annapolis includes a miniature white cube gallery space. You can find Art House Annapolis at the top of S. Cherry Grove Ave. behind the new hotel (1313 West). Come explore and spend a moment. There's always something to see and discover. Better yet share your comments, pictures, and ideas with me by emailing, meg@budinthebloom.com. Do you have ideas for installations? Let me know here in the comments.
Big love,
Meg
