Do you love being inspired, getting creative and letting your imagination run free? Get ready to love the upcoming interactive gallery space at Dothan’s Main Library if you said yes!
What we know
According to a recent report, the interactive gallery space at Dothan’s Main Library is happening thanks to the generosity of a grant. In fact, the Daniel Foundation of Alabama awarded the Dothan Houston County Library System (DHCLS) the grant. More specifically, it’s a $25,000 Arts, Culture & Assets Grant.
Funds from the grant will be used for an interactive gallery space at Dothan’s Main Library. The interactive gallery hopes to encourage curiosity and creativity, for starters.
Plans for the interactive gallery space include rotating exhibits. Many of the exhibits will foster patron participation among other things.
The new interactive gallery, known as the INDEX, will convert what is now a 250-sqaure-foot alcove into a dynamic, well-used space at the Main Library. The project is expected to be completed by November 2022.
