Art Professor Stephanie Bacon to Speak at Dedication of Her Art for the Collister Branch Library

Stephanie Bacon, a professor in the Department of Art at Boise State University, will speak about new artwork she created for the Collister Branch Library from 6-7:30 p.m. March 19. The lecture will be at the library, located in the Collister Shopping Center at 4724 W. State Street. The event is free and open to the public.

Bacon’s work was commissioned by the Boise City Arts Commission. Her project, “The Museum and Farm of Ideas,” includes photos, drawn images, handwritten papers and stenciled numbers collaged together. The Boise City Arts Commission says, “The art alludes to traditional ornamentation on civic buildings and references indices, numerologies, lists, sets and mnemonics (that) constitute schemata, or programmatic structures for the transmission of knowledge.”

For more information, call BCAC interim executive director Karen Bubb at 433-5677.
