We are pleased to announce that Hive Center for the Book Arts and the Evanston Public Library received a National Endowment for the Arts BIG READ grant!

From September 2024 until June 2025, as part of our Year of Joy and Gratitude, community members joined Hive in Community Paper Making and Art+Poetry workshops across Evanston.

Paper made by participants during our community paper making sessions was used to create two collaborative tapestries that are permanently displayed at each library branch.
