SELCO launched the second biennial traveling art exhibit, easel --- Experience Art in Southeastern Libraries. The first showing of easel was part of the Rochester’s quarterly ArtWalk on January 26. Then, the exhibit moved to the Preston Public Library where it will be showcased in the library’s newly renovated gallery and performing arts space.
The selection of easel artwork depicts the artists’ interpretation of books, letter, authors, reading, or the library and will tour libraries and galleries from January 2012 – June 2013. A number of easel artists, will be featured with short video clips on SELCOtv through YouTube. Visitors to the easel show will be able to view the artists’ video interviews after scanning one of five specially prepared gallery name tags by using a cell phone with a QR Code app. The easel promotional posters and bookmarks also sport QR Codes which, when scanned, direct the viewer to the general exhibit information
