Arts + Literature Laboratory presents Home Is Where You Find It: Reimagined Little Free Libraries, a group exhibition organized by the community curation project, LAB^4, on display from Tuesday, July 8, 2025, through Friday, August 29, 2025.
A reception for all current exhibitions will be held on Thursday, July 17, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
As part of the LAB^4 project, Home Is Where You Find It invites viewers to explore concepts around the places we call “home” through a unique collaboration between six Madison-area artists and the city’s iconic Little Free Libraries. Madison becomes both canvas and collaborator in this citywide installation, reimagining these beloved neighborhood structures through artistic expression.
Inside the gallery at Arts + Literature Laboratory, visitors will find work by each participating artist including Caeli Carr-Potter, Care, Katie Hogan, Megan Stout, Lesley Anne Numbers, and Jewel Millard.
Accompanying the exhibition is an illustrated zine created by local artist TL Luke, charting the locations of each artist-designed Little Free Library across Madison.
Visitors are encouraged to take home a printed copy of the map and experience the entire art show in person and beyond the gallery walls.
This project is part of a broader two-month initiative with LAB^4 programming filled with interactive workshops, performances, and installations, all centered on reimagining home across cultures, spaces, time, and language. Together, the gallery and the libraries offer a community-rooted journey into the objects, places, and feelings that shape where and how we belong.
