About the magazine

The L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library, located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, serves as a cornerstone of the region's cultural and intellectual life. Founded in 1976 through a bequest from local businessman L.E. Phillips, the library has evolved into a dynamic community hub that integrates traditional library services with a robust commitment to the arts. Its mission emphasizes free access to information, lifelong learning, and cultural enrichment, positioning the library as a vital platform for artistic expression and public dialogue. Beyond its extensive collections, the library maintains dedicated exhibition spaces, including the Chippewa Valley Museum partnership and the Carnegie Room, which host rotating exhibitions of local and regional artists. The library's call for artists reflects its ethos of accessibility and community engagement, offering artists a unique venue to reach diverse audiences in a non-commercial, intellectually stimulating environment.
