Models that Tell a Story: the Art of Dioramas and Vignettes
Amazing scale models will return to the Joel Valdez Library for the month of May. In addition to a wide variety of models-types (military, ships, figures, space, science-fiction, etc.), members will include a special display highlighting the art of dioramas and vignettes. These are models that “tell a story” to the viewer, and have often been described as being “3-dimensional paintings”.
On Saturday, May 26 (10am – noon), there will be a special model-making event for children in the café/lounge area.
This event is free. The models are on display every day from May 1-31, Mon-Wed 9-8, Thu 9-6, Fri 9-5, Sat 10-5, Sun 1-5.
