Library Arts Program

Middle Ear Project’s Library Arts Program provides free access to contemporary visual and film art in collaboration with 3 public library districts: Pasadena Public Libraries, Altadena Library District, and Los Angeles Public Libraries.

Library patrons can visit participating library branches to pick up a postcard-sized print of original visual artwork to take home. On the back, a QR code links to a short film exploring similar themes. Prints are displayed alongside librarian-selected books that connect with the art, creating a multidisciplinary experience that’s free and accessible to all. New art is available every other month.
