The Friends of the Redmond Branch Library announces a challenge to the Central Oregon Art Community. We are asking artists, photographers and artisans to create an work of art based upon a book, poem, short story and/or piece of music. The artists will also be asked to attach no more than 50 words explaining his/her reasons for creating the work and how this piece of literature or music inspired them.

“SYNERGY: ART & LITERATURE” will be held March 22 – April 25, 2014, and will coincide with the Deschutes Public Library’s “Novel Idea” programming. The prospectus/application for this show is available in the Redmond Branch Library, in the Friends Bookshop in the northwest corner of the Redmond Library and on the download page of the Friends website at: www.redmondfol.org.
