Opening of the First South End Library Window Take-over

March 31, 2016 | 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

South End wire sculptor Will Corcoran will present his Window Take-over installation on Thursday, March 31 at 6:00 PM at the South End Library, 685 Tremont Street at the corner of West Newton Street. Local artists, cultural groups and creative entrepreneurs have been invited by the Friends of the South End Library (FOSEL) to feature their work and ideas in the library’s prominent, tall windows on Tremont Street, based on a library theme. Corcoran’s installation is based on the tales by Edgar Allen Poe and the Brothers Grimm. He will briefly talk about his work, and WGBH radio and TV host Ray Brown will read a few selected tales from the collections of Poe and Grimm. Refreshments are served. The first ten children up to the age of 14 who correctly guess the tales will receive a prize. The Window Take-over’s project intends to broaden the library’s constituency and enhance visibility of the South End’s creative community at the public library.
