Look Here! How Artists use Library Collections to Make New Work: A Panel Discussion

Next week there is a panel discussion with librarians and artists from the Look Here! project. The Look Here! initiative asked artists from RedLine Community Art Studio and Peck School of the Arts to create projects that re-imagine, transform, and engage with the objects in the UWM Libraries unique collections, especially our Digital Collections, in ways that were unimagined before the digital turn. Join a discussion with the artists and librarians to uncover what they have learned about the artistic process in the library, and how artists are re-imagining their collections. The artists’ work will be on exhibit at Villa Terrace this summer, June 28-September 16. For the duration of the exhibit, admission to the museum will be free for all UWM students, faculty, and staff.

Wednesday, April 4th, from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. in the DH Lab
