About the Program

As places for creative self-cultivation, libraries offer distinct learning environments for the exhibition and performance of art. Much more than archives of knowledge, libraries foster and reflect the vitality, complexity, and unfolding patterns of contemporary life. Exhibiting and performing in Wesleyan's library spaces creates opportunities for engagement with the broader scholarly community, to confirm or challenge the status quo, and to catalyze new ideas, discourses, and appreciation for creative expression.
