Garrison Art Center (GAC) and Desmond-Fish Public Library (DFPL) are proud to announce their upcoming collaborative juried exhibition, ROOTS, on view from June 25 through October 25, 2026, at Desmond-Fish Public Library. This unique exhibition brings together the local community to explore the profound intersections of nature, history, and narrative through the medium of printmaking.

This collaboration was inspired by the discovery that GAC and DFPL had complementary summer themes—Garrison Art Center’s Rooted: Art and the Natural World for their K-12 Summer Programs and the Desmond-Fish Public Library’s summer reading theme, Unearth A Story. GAC and DFPL aimed to highlight the compelling connections between art, storytelling, and the natural world. Participating printmakers were encouraged to think expansively and approach the concepts of being “rooted” and “unearthing” both literally and conceptually. The resulting exhibition highlights the rich dialogue between visual art and storytelling.
