These books were chosen because of their focus on art. Beautiful, colorful, abstract, realism; art speaks in all languages - attracting people from all walks of life. Public Art provides us the abilities to open up lines of communication within our own housing.

"Women in Art; 50 Creatives Who Inspired the World" book has inspiring profiles and stories, dating back to the 11th century, of women who made a difference in their lives and communities. "The Joy of Art" book provides instruction and allows the reader to understand and enjoy art.

The Pagosa Springs Arts Council is inspired by both of these books; inspired enough to share their love of art within our community.

Being an Art Gallery, Two Old Crows Gallery searched for beautiful, whimsically illustrated books whose story could be enjoyed in the Library by both children and adults. We were also inspired by a set of exquisite and bedazzled Mark Roberts Swans that have been so popular with our customers. Combining these two ideas we found two different book versions of 'Swan Lake' and let the ethereal illustrations and poignant story be inspirations for our table design: using glass, sparkling light fabrics, feathers, diamante and shades of gray to capture the elegant, fairytale quality of the romantic ballet performance.

The table design includes:

1 Gray linen tablecloth

2 pieces of gray sparkle underlay

1 tulle and diamanté table runner

2 Feather centerpieces - Large and Small

5 Acrylic stands - various heights

2 Mark Robert Swans

2 diamanté Candle wreaths

6 diamante napkin rings

2 LED 6" candles
