Art Lending Library - July Event

The Minneapolis Art Lending Library (MALL) will be hosting its next lending hours at American Craft Council on July 29, 2016 from 5-8 pm. Patrons can choose from MALL’s collection of over 90 original artworks. During this lending event  patrons will have the opportunity to interact with an original installation by our summer artist fellow Carolina Borja, 'Better a bird in the hand than two in the bush' a Mexican craft- papier mache piñata installation that incorporates sound and audience participation. The artist will also be available to meet and ask questions.

Learn more about Carolina and her work here. 

Established in 2013, the MALL is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing exposure for artists, building support for the arts, and sharing the joy of art with all members of our community through the free lending of artwork. More broadly, we are aiming to create an attitude change in the Twin Cities in terms of art ownership. The hope is that once patrons experience living with art in their homes they will be more likely to purchase art in the future. The collection includes over 90 different paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, ceramics, and sculptures by local and national artists. Lending events are an exciting chance to browse a compelling selection of original artworks and an opportunity to support the arts community.
