Library of Progress Open House, Saturday April 12, 2008, 4pm – 9pm
Founded by Jason Hughes and Franciska Farkas, the Library of Progress is a 2500 sq ft mixed-use exhibition space and video production studio housed within one of the four original Enoch Pratt Library neighborhood branches (1886-1971). The LOP will function as a unique sculpture and installation space with curated flat files, offer video production services with an emphasis on social awareness and community projects, as well as host weekly yoga classes. Together we seek to implement a new model for gathering and distributing news, ideas, and information that is at once thoughtful, constructive, and insightful. As Baltimore ‘s premier and progressively minded mixed-use exhibition space, information center, and production studio, our aim is to have a direct impact on the issues affecting our surrounding communities, society at large, and ultimately our collective consciousness.
Please join us for an evening of art, music, and ideas as we open our doors for the first time to the Baltimore/Washington DC community. The Open House also coincides with the release of New American Paintings Issue 75 – the Mid-Atlantic Competition, for which Hughes is a featured finalist.
