Turning Up the Heat this Winter:
Peppers in Image and Word
January 14 - April 13, 2012
Get ready to feel the heat this winter at the Lloyd Library and Museum. Our latest exhibit, featuring both books and artistic renderings of the chili pepper, explores the world of Capsicum annuum, better known to most as the red, or chili, pepper.
Whether you like them, love them, or just don't know, here's your chance to find out about this glorious American native that comes in everything from mild to wild flavor, and is both a food and a medicinal plant.
The book exhibit features volumes from the 16th through 21st centuries. The art exhibit features particularly the photographic work of Eduardo Fuss, as well as select works from Jean Andrews, David Carangilo, Amal Naj, Jeff Schickowski, and Hardy Eshbaugh.
