Lisa Figueroa and her portrait students are presenting two simultaneous shows of portrait work throughout April at the Salmon Arm Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library.
Figueroa, Bonnie Jackson, Taryn Garrett, Hanne Giuffrida, Jadranka Zizak and Susan Miller are each displaying a large framed drawn portrait and three smaller ink portraits.
Drawn on index cards, some 75 card portraits have been placed between the pages of library books and will become the property of those patrons lucky enough to find them in a borrowed book.
The “Index Card Portrait Show” is on permanent exhibition or until all of the “portraits” have been found and kept, says Figueroa, whose art studio is downstairs at the Arts Centre on Hudson Avenue. Borrowing the idea from the National Gallery in Ottawa, librarian Roswitha Klawitter and Figueroa have partnered to bring found art to the local library.
