LIBRARY ANNOUNCES GRAPHIC DESIGN EXHIBIT

The Tompkins County Public Library has announced the opening of a new exhibit celebrating locally-produced, contemporary graphic design.

“Art 4 Commerce: An Exhibit of Communication Design,” will be on display at the Library from March 7 through May 26. Curated by Stefanie Green and Steve Carver, the exhibit showcases the advertising designs of many of the area’s most recognized graphic artists.

The exhibit includes pieces commissioned by local, regional and national clients for a variety of print and virtual media outlets and features work from a diverse group of designers-- from those whose careers began in the 1970s when the craft of graphic design involved only a pencil and drawing board--- to the new generation of graphic artists who are skilled in the use of cutting-edge tools and technology.

An opening reception will be held in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room from 5:00 to 7:00 PM on Thursday, March 17. A panel discussion featuring many of the exhibited artists will start at 6:00 PM.

For more information, contact Sally Grubb at (607) 272-4557 extension 232 or sgrubb@tcpl.org.
