New Exhibits in the Lobby
There are two new exhibits in the main lobby at HSL.
Debra updated the new books display, and added dust jackets from the new books that have arrived since the last time she changed out the exhibit.
Since the Deadly Medicine exhibit closed, Debra worked with David Weil from the Fulginiti Pavilion to install a new display for the Fulginiti.
The display shows three upcoming events at the Fulginiti.
The new issue of the Human Touch is out, and there will be a launch celebration on Tuesday, June 12, 2018 from 4-6pm. The new issue is already posted in the digital repository, if you would like to view it online.
The new exhibit at the Fulginiti will be The Art of Healing: Paintings by Arturo Garcia. The Art of Healing will be at the Fulginiti from June 15 through August 16, 2018, and the reception will be on Friday, June 22, 2018 from 5-7pm.
Every One That Asks: Conversations with Denver’s Homeless is also on display at the Fulginiti beginning on May 21, 2018.
