Not About The
Buildings
The Library Show
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

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.
