Drop off day for the Small Works show @MainStArts also means sneaking in some inspo time in the Art Resource Library. Sigh, what a divine time! 😍 the 2022 Small Works show opens November 5th!

What a way to start a Monday! I found a sweet love note under my door from a little girl down the hall and my heart is bursting with joy. It can be so easy to make someone’s day with a small kind act.

Take a quick tour with me through the 11th Annual Art of the Book exhibit, on display through 11/1 at @RocCityLibrary! These are better seen in person than in this silly video; make it a pit stop next time you’re in downtown Rochester! #bookart #paperart instagram.com/reel/CjRUC0YjF…
