Re: Library Public Art Selections

After many hours of hard work from the Public Arts Committee and the Library Art Selection Committee we are pleased to present to you our selections for art in the new Homer Public Library.

1. Entry doors with Sandhill Crane imagery by Mooserun Metalsmiths.

2. Wall-mounted ceramic relief mural in the children’s library depicting Sandhill Cranes flying in an upward spiral by Lynn Naden with children collaborating for the mosaic background.

3. Tree trunk “story grove” in the children’s library by Paul Dungan.

4. Three steel and fabric upholstered “nest” seats in the windows of the children’s library by Lisa Krebs.

5. Suspended, hanging bent alder Sandhill crane sculptures by Tamara Schmidt for the main library.

6. Sandhill Crane Bike Rack by Lisa Krebs.

7. Wall space in the main library utilized for rotating exhibits of art, selected by a panel of community volunteers.

8. “Just Imagine” image that has been a logo for the library campaign, designed by Susan Cushing (this will be built into the structure of the library at no additional cost to the art budget).
