New Art Gift from our Friends
Artist Reception, February 17
Courtesy of the Friends of the Deerfield Public
Libraiy, a stunning mural now hangs in the central
stairwell as part of the Library’s permanent art
collection. The four-panel mural by Janet Austin,
titled “Prairie Plants”, is made of stone mosaic and
carved ceramic stoneware tiles.
The inspiration for the mural came from a project
Austin worked on with students from Deerfield
High School. In 2010, DHS students participated
in a program with the Chicago Botanic Garden by
creating an outdoor prairie garden at their school.
Austin was hired to help make identification
plaques for the plants in the garden. This led her to
make the “Prairie Plants” panels to identify many
of the native plants and show the importance of
healthy soil.
The mural first came to the Library as part of the
Village of Deerfield Public Art Program, one of 23 pieces selected for
the second year of the program. The participating artists, chosen by juiy
process, agreed to loan theirs works of art for public display for up to
one year. The Library also has on loan pieces by Deerfield artists Anne
Kleinerman, Rita Price, Linda Trytek, and Penny Weinberg.
Please join us for an open house reception on Wednesday, February 17,
4:30-5:30pm to learn more about the project from the artist, and to give
a big “thank you” to our Friends of the Library.
