Art Installation at the Saline District Library
Curated by Keith McGuire and Meghan Collins

Two Twelve is collaborating with the Saline District Library in their first public art installation project. Both adults and children are invited to join in the creation of the installation. A departure from the traditional outdoor sculpture, the art installation project will combine fiber, bamboo, metal pieces and other ephemera that will gracefully adorn the adjacent southern side of the library's park-like grounds. Th e installation will be a playful, graceful, temporary structure which will include the combined artistic work of students at the Arts Center along with other volunteers joining in the creative process.
The purpose of the free form sculpture is to tweak and stretch the imagination and creative spirit of viewers and participants. The installation will be at the library for two weeks only.
