“OASIS” in the Gallery Upstairs

Welcome! You are cordially invited to enjoy a summer art exhibit that invites us all to gather & take a breath of fresh air.  Come: refresh, restore, regale, rest, bask, bathe, relax, commune, inhale, meditate, and discover. Join the caravan, as we travel to a creative refuge and a summer escape right here in downtown New Haven.

Oases, or watering holes, are sacred places where every animal can drink in peace, and where weary travelers gather to tell stories and relax after their journey. It is the blooming in the desert, a garden of delights in a cement city. Scarce and special, they offer tranquility and refreshment.

And of course, libraries themselves are oases….

This exhibit features original artwork alongside items from the Library’s collection. There will be free events scheduled for making, gathering, sharing, and basking in the peaceful glow of this Oasis.
