John Hay Library
The Library will honor Walter Feldman, Professor of Art and John Hay Professor of Bibliography, with the dedication of the Feldman Book Arts Studio (located in the basement of the Hay). The studio supports the work of Professor Feldman’s students in the book arts, providing them with the space and materials to creatively explore the book as an art form. More than 300 books created by Professor Feldman’s students are in the permanent collection of the John Hay Library. This event will include a welcoming reception (in the lobby of the Hay) as well as tours of the Book Arts Studio along with a display of works by Professor Feldman’s students.

John Hay Library, Lownes Room
The John Hay Library will host an “open house” to display the Library’s copy of John James Audubon’s double elephant folio “Birds of America.” Leslie Bostrom, Associate Professor of Art in Brown’s Program in Visual Arts and an avid birder, will be on hand to talk informally with visitors about the Audubons, the birds represented in the images, and the artistic processes that were used to make the prints. This event is part of the Parents Weekend festivities at Brown.
