Library Hawk Squawk: Art Talk, Good Books, Hours, More Events

First Cushing Salon of the Season: Art Talk and Exhibit by HNU Student Alex Sing: “My Path to Art”

Thursday January 19, 7 – 8 p.m., Cushing Library Glass Lounge. Open to the public.

At Sign

Holy Names Student Alex Sing, the Cushing Library’s 6th Artist in Residence, originally thought he didn’t like art. But his work at HNU exposed him to creating artwork in a variety of media. Come hear Alex present, see his magnificent artwork gracing our walls, and of course, enjoy nibblies and conversation with fellow art-lovers.
