With growing interests in interdisciplinary studies, the library has become the hub for connecting disciplines. I have been pleasantly surprised at the growing connection between the library and all art in general, from creative writing, to painting, music, and so on. Besides the plethora of information to be found in the library about various topics, the space itself connotes innovation and creativity.
One of my most recent and exciting finds has been the Library as Incubator Project, an effort to get artists working collaboratively with libraries, whether it be using the resources, or using the space.
I also found a video recently about an artist who used the space of the Queensland State Library in Australia as his studio for a panoramic drawing of Brisbane:
All of these collaborative projects make me extremely excited about entering this field. As someone interested in the arts themselves, and someone who is inspired by the space and concept of the library, I look forward to seeing where this movement goes and how I can become a part of it.
