Permanent Collection
by aadloutreach
On Display at all library locations
The Ann Arbor District Library has an extensive permanent art collection comprised of work by local as well as regionally and nationally known artists. Much of the collection is due to the generosity of the Ladies’ Library Association, which has long supported the arts at the library, donating paintings and sculpture for all AADL locations and contributing annually to our large collection of art books.
Also available on our website, are digital archives of some of our past exhibits including the Downtown Library 50th Anniversary Exhibit

Thanks for asking, kittenkat101! Since this blog was first posted, the Traverwood branch has opened where you will also find works from our permanent collection including a painting by Mignotte Yin Cheng and a sculpture by Gerome Kamrowski. Additionally, there are some ceramic sculptures at the West Branch location as well, so works from our permanent collection are now on display at all AADL locations!
