Currents: A Community Art Project
Monday, Oct 28-Friday, Jan 17
This participatory art project encourages dialogue about peace and unity in our increasingly polarized world. We asked the community to share their unique perspectives, and we invite you to explore the thoughts of others. By reflecting on the present, we aim to inspire the community to move toward a more compassionate future.
Reception: Thursday, November 14, 6-7 PM • Lobby
Luba Abramov
Tuesday, Jan 21-Tuesday, Mar 18
Luba Abramov loves to collect sea glass. After collecting a few pieces on Lake Michigan, it became an obsession. She has traveled abroad to collect rare colors and shapes of sea glass formed over decades in the water. She combines her love of watercolors with found beach glass to create assemblages inspired by nature. "I want the energy of the ocean and the sea to reach people through my art pieces," says Luba. "I love how they sparkle in the sun, the transparency, and all the different colors."

The Gift of Art
The Friends of the Glenview Library have commissioned artwork for designated Library locations and have donated from their own collections. When you enter the Library from the underground garage, take notice of Field Scene. This colorful painting by David W. Voros was commissioned in 1986 to hang behind the Circulation Desk in the old Library. In the Community Room, the Navajo rug and two Native American portraits were gifts from the Louann Van Zelst family. The next time you attend a Library program, make sure to view these stunning works.
