Arts Paper
As the editorially independent arm of The Arts Council of Greater New Haven, the Arts Paper seeks to celebrate, explore, and investigate the fine, visual, performing and culinary arts in and around New Haven.
After a fortnight’s-long closure for construction, the Institute Library opened its doors to the public again last week for a series of events, including a jazz night, a poetry reading, and Saturday’s “Collage & Closing” farewell to Panreality, an exhibition curated by Maxim Schmidt (pictured at left, with Chelsea Rowe’s “The bathtub on 18th avenue") which had been running in the library’s Gallery Upstairs since April 8.

A copper “specimen box” encases an old whiffle ball bat. The plastic of the tip of the bat is torn, revealing a hollow interior. At the lip of the gash, dirt, like dried blood, coats the yellow plastic skin.
