Handmade Paper Exhibit           

March 1st through March 6th

An exhibit of handmade paper will be on display at the Monticello Public Library March 1 through March 6.  The exhibit will feature the work of Roosevelt Middle School students along with the work of children, teens, and adults who participated in hand papermaking workshops at the Monticello Public Library.  Students produced individual pieces and a collaborative piece of art entitled Woodland Indiana which will be on permanent display at the middle school following the exhibit.  Participants from the workshops produced one-of-a-kind decorative paper art.  A collaborative piece from workshop participants will be on permanent display in the library. Delphi artist, Terry Lacy taught all the workshops and put the two permanent pieces together.  "This Artist in Residency has been made possible by the Tippecanoe Arts Federation through the generous sponsorship of Chase Bank and support of the Indiana Arts Commission."  Stop in and see the display, it won't be here long!
