INDIANAPOLIS — The Public Collection’s newest free book share station at The Alexander Hotel at CityWay welcomed its first visitors July 27. Titled Conveyance, it was designed and fabricated by Project One Studio.
This new installation brings the number of book share stations, located throughout greater Indianapolis, to 10.
The large rectangular art installation provides book lovers an immersive environment, with bench seating and natural lighting. Interior lights activate at night to extend the use of the book station.
The Public Collection is a public art and literacy project consisting of artist-designed book share stations, developed to increase access to books and art. The project aims to improve literacy, foster a deeper appreciation of the arts, and promote social and educational justice in our community. Through a curated process, Indiana-based artists were commissioned to design unique book share stations, or lending libraries, that are installed in community spaces around Indianapolis. The book share stations are free and available to everyone. For a listing of all book share locations and their respective artists, visit www.thepubliccollection.org.
