Not About The Buildings
The Library Show

Neal Walsh/Mickey Smith

For almost forty years, Providence's Firehouse 11 served the Washington Park community as a library. Then in early 2006, the library closed with just a few days' notice due to water damage to the roof. Since then, the people of Washington Park have been struggling to get along without regular library services.

In June of 2007, Not About The Buildings organized The Library Show, at Firehouse 13, a gallery that we converted into an active library space for the month, complete with books, movies, music, and lots of events. Click here for the full events schedule.

Additionally, we've got lots of art for you to check out, including work by William Allen, Mark Binder, Tanisha Mendes, Gunnar Norquist, Andrew Sloan, Russell Wolfgang-Smith, Neal Walsh, and The Artist X. Also, you can check out great art made by the students from School One.

The Library Show has been made possible by a grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities. We would also like to thank School One, Firehouse 13, LLAMAproduct, and Ada Books.
