Library catalog card selections

Boxing up cards from a library card catalog from a community college, and out of the orderliness and precision (301.450973 as one example) of the Dewey decimal system a sampling of titles that caught my eye:

Radical chic & mau-mauing the flak catchers
Why can't they be like us?
Outcasts in their own land
Life on the English manor
Protestant establishment: aristocracy and caste
The golden bowl be broken
Diary of a sit-in
Children of the uprooted
The free negro in North Carolina, 1790-1860
Censorship
Intellectuals today: problems in changing society
Trucker: portrait of the last American cowboy
Wolf by the ears
Red, white and blue-collar views
Meaning and demeaning of routine work
Dispossessed majority
Getting back together
Physics and its fifth dimension
101 uses of dBase in libraries c1990

Obviously working through the social sciences section.
Man, a lot of these books sound interesting . . . .

And yes, the catalog cards are available for purchase; 100 cards for $10

Makers at the Fair

We want to call your attention to the amazing craftspeople and artists that work before Fair and behind the scenes in the Visual Arts building to create each year a new theme and special ambiance for your art  viewing pleasure.







This year we were thrilled when the VA people contacted us seeking metal and machinery.

When you enter the building, after taking a good long look at the wonderful variety of drawings, painting, photos on display on the walls,
                                                                 look up.





In the center of the building over the demonstration area is a galaxy of steam punk and/or restoration hardware (!?) inspired hanging lights.

The Visual Arts creative crew transformed our metal spheres, octagons, circles and other metallic items into these amazing fixtures.

 

Here's what some of them looked like before:

Also to be found in the building are some of our vintage machines and gizmos.  If you can tear your eyes away from the extraordinary young people's art works, see if you can locate the galvanometers and calculators:

If you are a creative force in OC, consider us a source for materials for your next project.  Whether it's a piece of furniture for restoration, props for your event or next horror film, or that perfect hunk of metal, there's a 'fair' chance we'll have now or soon.

Thank You OC Fair Visual Arts crew for your support and encouragement!
