The month of August is officially American Artist Appreciation Month, which we are recognizing for the first time here at the Milne. Please have a look at our display near the non-fiction area, which has just a sampling of our many art books. Others are located in the 709 and 759 areas on non-fiction, and in the Oversize section as well!
The National Endowment for the Humanities has created a Virtual Bookshelf for this month, and The National Today, which keeps track of all kinds of unique holidays, summarizes the importance of American Artist Appreciation Month as well.
Please take a look at the catalog records for some of these titles:
Another way to support American art is to visit our amazing local museums. The library has passes that you can check out for free or discounted entrance to the following museums:
Williams College Museum of Art (always free of charge)
The Smithsonian in Washington, DC has not just an incredible collection of American art but also an impressive website:
As always, please visit or contact the library for more information about American art and artists!
