Expressions Of Love: Valentine’s Exhibit

The Questa Public Library is sharing a little bit of love with our community for the month of February. Come see our exhibit entitled “Expressions of Love” which will focus on handmade Valentines from locals in our community. The premise is simple, “Share the Love.”


The main display wall will be filled with expressive Valentines that each focus on a poem of love. These poems can be written about the love of anything. This includes poetry about relationships, or perhaps a place, or an object or even an event or activity. The poems will be a mixture of newly composed poetry or historical favorites. Also on display will be our favorite books on expressions of love. Come stop by for this fun, public display.


Didn’t get your Valentine in for the exhibit but still want to participate? We would love to display your Valentine, just bring it to the library and we’ll hang it for you! The only stipulation is the poem must be library appropriate! Authors of historical works must be acknowledged.


See you at the library and HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

    Questa Creative Council Board member and artist: I paint the Southwest because I love the land! Being raised in the country, I have a strong tie to it. It’s a sense of deep emotions, of memory, and of history. While I am painting, I try to capture the feeling of the place, what is all around me: the smells, what I hear, and what I see – a complete picture. My abstracts represent “My Other Side.” I play with emotions through color, shapes, and energy to make playful compositions.
