The North American Experience: Early America Illustrated
with “Forms of Life” Art Exhibition by the 5300 Group
Lloyd Library & Museum
March 25, 2013 – June 21, 2013
Next week an exhibition featuring the written and artistic works of naturalists eager to describe the unexplored territory of North America will open at the Lloyd Library and Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio.
View early works and learn what the Ohio Valley and other parts of North America were really like before European settlers immigrated to the continent. Rare and fascinating books from the 18th and 19th centuries will be on view.
Also on view will be Forms of Life, an exhibition featuring the work of the 5300 Group. This group is comprised of local artists and kindred spirits who have been together since 2008, working in a variety of media and exploring a wide assortment of subjects. Individual members have shown their work locally, regionally, and nationally in juried exhibitions. This is their first appearance at the Lloyd Library.
The Lloyd Library and Museum invites you to attend the opening reception for these two shows on Saturday, March 23, 2013 from 4-7 PM.
A presentation about John James Audubon and the early Ohio Valley begins at 4:30 PM. This presentation will be given by Devere Burt, formerly of the Cincinnati Natural History Museum. A reception will follow.
