NEW to the library: the opening of a community art gallery on the second floor of the Main Library! The current exhibit wall is adjacent to the updated Computer Center. Duluth Public Library is proud to partner with area organizations to exhibit diverse and culturally representative art from the region.
​
The inaugural exhibit is on display through January 2020. “Through Our Eyes” photography created by Native American youth is a collaboration with American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO.) AICHO hosted a five-day photography and digital storytelling workshop that allowed kids to access traditional culture through a modern medium, resulting in the vibrant exhibit on display through mid-January.

Powwow Highway is a 1989 comedy-drama road movie directed by Jonathan Wacks. Based on the novel Powwow Highway by David Seals, it features A Martinez, Gary Farmer, Joanelle Romero and Amanda Wyss. Wes Studi and Graham Greene, who were relatively unknown actors at the time, have small supporting roles. ​AICHO was happy to host actor Gary Farmer for a screening of the film and a meet-and-greet session with the community!
