Art & Exhibits in the Library
Santa Cruz Public Libraries provide exhibit space for art at branches across the county. We feature everything from ceramics to oil paintings to tapestries. Stop by to check out one of the exhibits listed below:
Oil Paintings by Anna Haulenbeek Huskey
What: The artwork theme, "Abstraction and the Figure'', is inspired by human and animal forms, gestures and motions placed into imaginary environments. Each painting sparks a jumping off point for the artist as she imagines then creates additional abstract oil paintings. Learn more about the artist.

Photographs by Donna Maurillo
What: Artist's statement: What does a woman do after moving on from a career in corporate communications? In my case, I started a second career as an artist. Photography, my artistic passion, became my medium. Now it's my time to enjoy my passion and to share it with other people.
My approach to photography is simple. I like to preserve moments—fractions of a second—that otherwise would pass unnoticed and forgotten. At the same time, I like to include hidden elements in my images—subtle shapes, new details, subliminal messages. This way, the image becomes new each time the viewer sees it. Learn more here.
When: July 9th - September 24th
