Whether your art choice is sketching, watercolors, or photography, you’re invited to an inaugural series of art, architecture, and history celebrating the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library’s Centennial and Historic Preservation Month.
On three Saturdays in May, join the EVPL and Evansville’s Historic Preservation Services Office for A Brush with History Art Strolls through three of the city’s historic areas.
• Saturday, May 4, 9:00 am
Bayard Park Historic District (tour begins at East Branch Library)
• Saturday, May 11, 9:00 am
Franklin Street Historic District (tour begins at West Branch Library)
• Saturday, May 18, 9:00 am
Riverside Historic District (tour begins at Reitz Home Carriage House)
Each tour, guided by a member of the Historic Preservation Services Office, will highlight architectural features present in residential and/or commercial structures in the districts. The hour-long walking tours are open to all, and after the walk artists are encouraged to set up their easels and tripods and explore the area in the “plein air†tradition. Artists are encouraged to include their finished work in an exhibit scheduled later in the month at the Library.
For more information about the event, contact Teresa at 428-8231 ext. 2404 or teresas@evpl.org.
